Did some fixes for you
Greetings, I fixed your broken image, did a little formatting, and down in References I fleshed out your links to be more proper citations. Note, if a book is shown on GoogleBooks, you can instantly make it a footnote using http://reftag.appspot.com

Your article is published, and a member of WP:WikiProject Military History should be along in a week or two to check on it as well.

NOTE: you have a few messy bits that need some tidying, I've explained it at the tag at top of the article. Feel free to remove that Cleanup tag once you address those points.

Nice work! If you're with the unit or know someone who is, see if you can get someone to release a photo under WP:Creative Commons to add to the article. Either historical photos from past wars, or one from the current deployment. MatthewVanitas (talk) 15:22, 14 January 2014 (UTC)


 * EDIT: Also, if you find any photos online that are explicitly documented as being taken by DOD employees in the course of their duties (like Public Affairs staff, etc), then those should be automatically out of copyright and admissible to Wikimedia Commons for display. There's a checkbox in the Licensing section for something like "Production of the US military" or whatnot. So while you can't just steal random pics off the internet, if they're DOD productions you actually can. MatthewVanitas (talk) 15:30, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
