Summary In 2008, U.S. and Iraqi forces defeated an uprising in Sadr City, a district of Baghdad with ̃2.4 million residents. Coalition forces' success in this battle helped consolidate the Government of Iraq's authority, contributing significantly to the attainment of contemporary U.S. operational objectives in Iraq.
