one of the best US 机动 was made by Patton in WWII.
That was under hostile territory without air superiority. The Iraq War manuever was good but there wasn't much opposition as most of them were gone from air strikes. The only opposition US 机动 armored troops had was briefly with an Iraqi tank division outside of Baghdad. They were also destroyed mostly by the following air strikes. In Wiki, "The U.S. Air Force, Marine Corps and Naval Aviation, and British Royal Air Force operated with impunity throughout the country, pinpointing heavily defended enemy targets and destroying them before ground troops arrived ... According to the declassified Pentagon report, 'The largest contributing factor to the complete defeat of Iraq's military forces was the continued interference by Saddam.' "
