The Memory of Having APCs Cross Arvand River

Navideshahed: The commander of the Special Mechanized and Armed Army 25 of Karbala for the Sacred Defense Era said: “One of the reasons that caused the brigade 25 of Karbala to be converted to the Army and then from Army to be changed into the special Amy 25 of Karbala was due to the sacrifices and victories which had been created by its commanders like Haj Mortaza Ghorbani and Haj Basir. For example during the whole history of the war, it was for the first time that the Mechanized Army 25 of Karbala was able to cross the Arvand River during the night of the military operation ‘Valafjar 8’. It was able to take three tanks on the other side of water and this work was something unprecedented during the war.”?

Commander Seyed Ali Asghar Moghadas, the commander of the Special Mechanized Army of 25 Karbala for Mazandaran province during the Sacred Defense Era added: “This marvelous commandership and good behavior of martyr Commander Haj Hussein Basir had caused that a special spiritual and intellectual atmosphere to be created among the war veterans for presence near him.”?

He also regarding the commandership and obedience dimensions of commander Haj Hussein Basir declared: “Commander Basir would always emphasize this issue to his forces that the commander has the right of guardianship to his forces, because he believed that the commanders have been appointed as commanders by the supreme leader. He himself was like this as well and this issue caused that those forces that were under his commandership to obey the demands of the supreme leader (Imam Khomeini).”?

Commander Moghadas continued: “Haj Basir would consider the category of education and training as something important, he would stay with his forces all the times, he would express this motto: “The more you drop sweats during the trainings, you will drop lesser bloods during the military operations.”? For example during the military operation ‘Valfajr 8’ he had started the training of the forces two months before this operation during the cold months of autumn and winter in Bahman Shir River. He had trained the divers so well in the cold water.

He also considered paying attention to self-purification as one of the other characteristics of commander Basir and described: “Martyr Basir believed if the war veterans to believe in self-purification in different dimensions, they can stand against the enemy. Therefore this issue caused that that the Fatehin Unit which consisted of the martyrdom seeking clerics to be created in the Army 25 of Karbala. This unit had the responsibility of doing the propaganda activities, leading the tanks, loaders and even artilleries.
