less than 50 "A" Teams captured all of Northern Iraq and the western frontier Our only casualties was the guys who called in a bomb strike on themselves. Same thing happened in Afghanistan. I have read that what happened in both cases was that they replaced the batteries in their GPS units. This caused the units to "zero out" to the location the guys were at. The only negative I am reading on our Northern Iraq victory is that it allowed the Iraq units in the area to get off with too little damage. Since we didn't kill enough of them during the invasion, they never got nailed, and are now the ones fighting us. I assume you read the interview with the Marine General who is taking 20K troops into the Sunni area next year. He is going to try the tactics that worked for the Marines in Southern Iraq. It will be interesting to see if they work better.
