Multi-National Division – Baghdad
Open-knowledge reference entry
Multi-National Division – Baghdad (MND-B) was a division of Multi-National Force – Iraq during the Iraq War, responsible for controlling brigades in greater Baghdad that were responsible for areas within the city itself. It was headquartered by the 1st Cavalry Division and based at Camp Victory in Baghdad, Iraq, north of Baghdad International Airport. The brigades controlled by the 1st Cavalry Division included ones north of the city at Taji, in the northeastern part in Adhamiya, at Camp Liberty in the west, in the Green Zone, on the southern outskirts, and in the southeast near Rasheed Airfield.
Following the Iraq War troop surge of 2007, most of the brigades' troops were dispersed at battalion- and company-level combat outposts and joint security stations. The headquarters of MND-B was previously provided by HQ 1st Armored Division (2003–2004), HQ 1st Cavalry Division (2004–2005), HQ 3rd Infantry Division (2005), 4th Infantry Division (2006 & 2008–2009) and 1st Cavalry Division (2007).

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Multi-National Division – Baghdad” as open-knowledge reference entry. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as open-knowledge reference entry. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q16954024. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2007, 2003, 2004 and 2005.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
