The 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team was the first article I nominated for GA status, and the second to pass. Work began on January 19, 2007. Nominated January 23, 2008 and passed March 5, 2008.

Work on this article included creating an "Organization", "Honors", "Famous Soldiers" section, adding numerous images, reorganizing and doubling the size of the history section, and adding references to all necessary material on the page, all in all, the page went from over 18,000 bytes in its original, stub-class form to over 29,000 bytes when it finally became a GA.

Thanks to Deon Steyn, who helped with the source list, Carre who helped sort out a problem with images among other things, and Jackyd101 reviewed the article harshly for GA, and after much advice and assistance, finally passed it.

This was the first article I nominated for FA status, on March 7, 2008. However, with 2 in support, 1 oppose, and numerous comments, the FAC was closed due to lack of feedback and was not sucessful. Issues preventing promotion included incorrect reference formats, technical issues, and a few grammar problems.

I nominated this article for A status on April 2, 2008. It passed with 4 in support on April 5, 2008. Thanks to Blnguyen, who performed another close copy edit in addition to adding more sources and information, and Roger Davies, Eurocopter tigre, Woody, and TomStar81, for supporting the article's promotion.

I renominated this article for FA status on April 21, 2008. However, with none in support, two opposed, and numerous comments, the FAC was failed, despite work by myself and Blnguyen to fix the article to the reviewer's satisfaction.

The 20th Engineer Brigade was the second article I nominated for GA status, and the first to pass. Work began on December 15, 2007. Nominated February 4, 2008 and passed February 8, 2008.

Work on this article included adding "Organization", "Honors", and "Famous Soldiers" sections, as well as a removal of some copyvio material. The history section was completely reorganized, and I added 33 references where there were previously none at all, as well as dozens of links and a few images from other articles. Article gre from 8,400 bytes in its original start-class form to over 18,000 bytes as a GA.

Thanks to Dominik92, who helped fix typos and format problems, and offered a great deal of helpful advice on how the article could be further improved. He was also the one to review and pass the article.

I nominated this article for A status on April 2, 2008. However, with numerous comments and none in support, the A was unsucessful. Issues preventing promotion included date and citation formats, and other minor nitpicks.

The 3rd Sustainment Brigade was the fourth article I nominated for GA, and the third to pass. Work began on December 14, 2007. Nominated March 19, 2008 and passed April 1, 2008.

The article was a small stub with a few lines when I first began work on it, but since there was comparably less information on the article, working on it was significantly easier than other projects. Work on it included adding all of the infobox and images, creating the "Organization," "History," and "Honors" sections, and adding all references and external links. The article grew from just over 1,300 bytes when I first encountered it to over 8,500 bytes by the time it passed its GA.

Thanks to Jackyd101 for his GA review on the article, which was passed with no problems at all.

The 18th Engineer Brigade was the third article I nominated for GA, and the fourth to pass. Work began on December 15, 2007. Nominated March 19, 2008 and passed April 10, 2008.

Work on this article included a complete reorganization (It was originally a start-class article with a few disorganized paragraphs of content) which included expanding the article's history and infobox, as well as creating a lead, Organization, Honors, and Links, and notable soldiers section, as well as adding all references and all images other than the unit's SSI and DUI. Of the articles I have worked on, this one changed the most in terms of size. It grew from 3,250 byted in its original, start-class size to 21,871 bytes in its GA form; almost seven times its original size.

Thanks to Blnguyen, who gave the article an extensive copyedit at several points, and Dominik92, who reviewed it for GA and pointed out several areas for improvement before eventally passing it.

The 15th Sustainment Brigade was the sixth article I nominated for GA, and the fifth to pass. Created on December 14, 2007, nominated for GA on June 4, 2008 and passed on June 5, 2008.

I created and wrote the entire GA, essentially. It was written in my standard six-section format, with all infoboxes added and all images uploaded by me, except for one. The article ran into an unfortunate delay in its GA process, as I nominated it twice before and both times it was faled in poorly done and highly questionable GA reviews. The article went from about 750 bytes of information on the 1st Cavalry Division page to 20,900 bytes in its GA form.

Thanks to Kirill Lokshin and Leithp for their assistance in peer reviewing the article and helping to tidy it up, as well as to Climie.ca for reviewing it, pointing out remaining errors, and passing it quickly.
