The operations that we supported with tactical air strikes, mid 2004, along the Syrian Iraq, and the Iraqi Saudi border didn't need a wall. Sadly, they tended to be an economy of force, and thus routinely underresourced. Central Iraq tended to get all the troops, since that is where the civil war as going on. During those weeks when border security became the main effort, it was remarkable how quickly the trickle slowed down.
It helped that the RoE was permissive.
