I came across the Iraq and Afghanistan orbat articles. Great job on them but I was thinking that the title of them might be very "military insider" if that makes sense. Since this is an encyclopedia for all, including those that are not to familiar with the military, what would you say to moving the articles to Afghanistan invasion order of battle and Iraq War order of battle. This would be along the lines of Coral Sea order of battle, Midway order of battle, Battle of Guadalcanal order of battle , etc....... Since they are your articles I thought I would run this by you first. Cheers.-- Looper5920 20:53, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

hey dsw, thanks, i actually should update that orbat tonight because the baghdad units have moved around a lot in the past 2 weeks. keeping track of the battalions is an ongoing research project -- some contact with officers in iraq, tons of culling through press relases, photo captions, interview transcripts, and newspaper articles.
Great work on those two pages Dsw. You're doing much better that globalsecurity.org. I used to do some of it myself with another thinktank. One thing I would suggest is putting dates on formation changeovers (OIF 5->6 etc), and I'll help do that around the edges. Cheers Buckshot06 06:59, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
Dsw, couldn't we do separate Order of Battle Afghan War OEF 1 (or is it OEF I), Iraq War OIF 1/I, etc pages linking off the main AFghan/Iraq War page? Also might we reorganise the Brit contribution as MND-SE, under HQ MNC-I? Just my two cents... Cheers Buckshot06 21:32, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
I understand your point Looper. But one can educate people by including both rotation stages and dates. I've started building an entry for MNF-Iraq which will hopefully get to the stage of a table with rotation name (OIF I etc), dates, on one side, and then the various MNDs and the provinces they cover, and the U.S. divisions that ran those MNDs during those rotations. Globalsecurity.org's got a bit of the info. Cheers Buckshot06 22:05, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
Saw your note on 15th MEU. Do you think it'd be a good idea to put a source and date in the text of every new insertion. Great work you're doing, anyway. Cheers Buckshot06 07:50, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Australian.sf.recon.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MER-C 06:58, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
Hi , Great work , but i have 2 questions : 1- Nothing mentioned regarding special forces 2- Nothing mentioned regarding the US unit in Al-Hilla -- Max Mayr 07:25, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for editing the article and including the special forces in it , but thats not cover them all , the green beret units dont fall under task force 77.-- Max Mayr 07:46, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
I think the article need update , currently a marine unit is al-diwaniya and also what about the guard unit that notified by the DoD to deploy to iraq next year-- Max Mayr 16:25, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

I think it's time we made the country -> order of battle switch for this page too; everything under the subordinate commands. If you have no objection, I'll start doing this. Would you consider helping me build separate pages for Regional Command North, Regional Command South, Regional Command East etc? Buckshot06( prof) 00:07, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
