I've fixed some trouble and rather than weighing you down with MoS stuff, I'll fix the more obvious things myself, I just wanted you to make note that: full dates are always linked as in January 5, 1955, but years and months alone are not, hence you wouldn't usually link April, 2007 unless it gave context to the article. About the source formatting, I prefer to use citation templates, but you are not required to use them, as long as the ref is properly formatted, in this case comes "last name of author; first name of author; any coauthors; title (url linked for websites); publish date; publisher; accessdate", a problem is that you've got the title before the name. Also, it should be "Retrieved on 2008-03-15" note the "on" and the wikilinked date, and make sure you're format is yyyy-mm-dd or the wikilink won't work. Another thing that I saw on the last article I've reviewed for you; section headings aren't considered titles and don't use title case, hence only the first letter of the first word and any proper nouns are capitals. These are issues I will fix, I just wanted to make sure you're aware of them. You can also experiment with citation templates, I like to use them as they do the formatting for you. Contentwise it seems good so far, but I haven't really studied it too in depth, I'll fix up the formatting and bring up any issues here. The Dominator ( talk) 15:05, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
Also, the footnote [1] comes after punctuation, (This sentence is false. [2], rather than This sentence is false [3].) and refs should generally not be cited in the lead as long as the information there will be repeated in the article (and it should be, that is what a lead is for). The Dominator ( talk) 15:08, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
Is there some guideline for section order, as in is there something that says a "Famous recruits" section comes after "Honors and decorations"? Because if not, I'd like to see the "Famous soldiers" section before the large "Honors" section cause it kind of shoves the former out of the way, of course this is a personal preference and if you like it better this way you're entitled to keep it that way, it won't affect the GA review at all, I'll get into prose and content reviewing shortly. The Dominator ( talk) 23:54, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
Last thing; I think some expansion could be done to organization, for example, while this is pretty obvious it doesn't say that it's a part of the United States Army, it justs says that in the lead which technically means that the article is introducing original information in the lead. Also, who's the current commander? If you can't find any more information just expand it with what you have, some of the stuff in the infobox, maybe a bit more about the subordinate battalions and maybe a half-sentence on the V-Corps to make it clear to the reader what that is without making him click on the link. The Dominator ( talk) 01:57, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
Therefore, I pass this article as a GA, good work! The Dominator ( talk) 14:19, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
I changed the April 2006 deployment to April 2005 Operation Eduring Freedom. I was on that deployment April 2005-April 2006. Also COL Russell was not our commander during that time. COL Michael Flanagan was our commander. We also recieved award MUC for our time there , mostly for the road building and mine clearing.
