| Looks like you're the expert here. Just let me quote the relevant sections from ] (I've stuck the reference in as you probably saw), and then please rewrite my edits as you see fit: | |||
| == Central Bureau == | |||
| '...particularly strong resistance was encountered within residential areas held by the Jaish al-Mahdi militia associated with Moqtada al-Sadr. Most of these areas were secured by Iraqi Army forces involved in securing a base of operations in the east of the city, anchored on Basra palace. In one case, however, roadside bombings and intense urban hit and run ops undertaken by experienced militia fighters caused an Iraqi Army battalion to lose cohesion during the initial day of fighting on 25 March. The unit in question, an element of the IA's 52nd Brigade (14th Division) had only recently graduated from the Besmeya training facility on 13 February. Raised from Basra recruits, the battalion proved unwilling to fight other Baswaris and disbanded with the loss of considerable numbers of Humvees, many of which were later recovered while dozens of others were burnt. The battalion commander and deputy commander were later relieved.' ... 'A set of experienced IA brigades tightened the cordon around key Jaish al-Mahdi neighbourhoods in western Baghdad such as Qarmat Ali, Qibla, Hayanniyah, Tamininyah, Khamsa Meel and Jumhuriya. These included the IA 14th Brigade (4th Division): a motorised unit of Kurdish and Arab personnel with a readiness ranking of C1 - the highest possible'. | |||
| The following message was on the assessment request page from December 8 until today: "Work is needed on citations. Many need to be added.

As a rule of thumb, the absolute minimum is that all paragraphs should at least end with a citation and all direct quotes should be attributed to a source." Also see: ] for formatting of URL citations. If a few citations can be had from other sources, presumably the further reading, that would be an improvement though not absolutely required. No copyvios detected. Coverage appears to be good." Copying here because another editor removed the message due to its age and you may not have seen it. ] (]) 02:21, 30 December 2023 (UTC) | |||
| That was mainly extra info I though you might like to have. This is the text of the 9 Div paragraph, immediately following: 'Alongside this unit were brigade-sized formations of Iraq's elite formations: the 1st and 9th divisions. The 3rd Brigade (9th Division), a motorised unit, was one of the first post-Saddam Iraqi units formed and is considered an elite quick-reaction force unit. The 35th Brigade (9th Division) is a tank formation with two battalions of reconditioned T-55 MBTs and BMP-1 IFVs plus a further battalion of motorised infantry deployed to Basra.'
