A Scorecard for the Showdown

A/N: Here is the last piece of the scorecard. Besides the
make-up of Mac's and Darcy's recon units, I have also
included information on the Coalition forces that will
be involved in Operation King Cobra as well as the elements of the Provisional Iraqi Defense Forces/Iraqi Army
that participated. I hope that you have found this information to be useful.
