Dear all,
i´m new in this forum so first i would like to give thanks for the opportunity of being here.
Im recently very interested on the military (not political) aspects of this war but there is a huge lack of information on this. For example, im trying to get info about the evolution of the armies of both iran and iraq during the war but there is nothing apart of the initial troops committed and deployed. Could any of you provide to me with info or at least a summary of the order of battle at least at brigade or division scale from 1981 to 1988?
Thanks and regards,
 javier

The best resource for this is undoubtedly the various ACIG reports on the war. Here's a basic OOB from the start of the war:

Thanks Ayyash!
Yes, i knew this source. in fact is my main source with the books written by efraim kars and even wikipedia... Do you have some other sources in the web? for example, i know that basij forces were grouped in brigades... these were permanent or tempoary? how many were formed during the war?
reading the scarce sources it seems that the army kept his divisional prewar organisation during all the conflict, but additional forces were formed from the pasdaran... Is this true? How many pasdaran divisions or brigades were formed during the war? I bet that there are excellent sources published in iranian language that sadly i,m not able to read, as i,m spanish! :(
