Following the setbacks at the Hanna on 21 January 1916, Lieutenant-General Aylmer's Tigris Corps spent the month of February refitting and collecting reinforcements. Despite the pause, the Tigris Corps was still unable to be brought back up to full strength. The 13th (Western) Division had been dispatched as reinforcements from Egypt where it was being brought back to strength following its evacuation from Gallipoli. However, by the end of February, only the 13th Division's first battalions had reached the theatre, and only two of those had been transported up river by end of February.

The British position at Kut was becoming more desperate. Food stocks were estimated to last only until the middle of April, even with the discovery of an additional store of grain in late January. Additionally, there was the concern that time was running out in another way: the weather. Based on the known weather patterns of the region, the latest that the Anglo-Indian Tigris Corps could expect favourable weather to hold was the middle of March. After that, the spring thaw would be in full swing. Combined with the coming rainy season, it would turn the areas along the banks of the Tigris into a flooded quagmire.

⇒1916年1月21日、ハナでの後退に続き、エールマー中将のチグリス隊は修理や収集補給の強化を図りながら2月の丸ひと月を過ごした。その休止にもかかわらず、チグリス隊はまだ完全な軍隊に復帰することができなかった。第13（西）師団が、ガリポリからの撤退に続いて軍勢の立て直しを図っていたエジプトから、強化隊として急送された。しかし、2月末までに第13師団のうち最初の大隊だけが現場へ到着しただけで、2月の終わりまでに川上へ輸送されたのは、わずか2個大隊のみであった。

⇒クツの英国軍陣地はますます絶望的になっていった。食物の貯蔵は、1月末に穀物を追加できる店が発見できても、4月の半ばまでしか続かないと見積もられていた。加えて、別の点で時間切れになる心配があった。すなわち、天候である。既知の地域に関する天候パターンに基づいて、英印チグリス隊が好都合の天候を予期できる最近接の時点は3月中旬であった。その後、春の雪解けはまったく不安定である。続く雨期と重なれば、それはチグリス川の土手に沿って、この地域を氾濫した沼地に変えてしまうだろう。
