(This is for historical purposes only, no political debate please). I’m a young college student who is trying to make an ultimate historical documentation of post-colonial Somali history, and I have been absolutely unable to find any information (reliable or not) about the Brigade level formations of the Somali Army, their Garrison HQ, and division subordination. I have scrounged through declassified CIA documents, archive.org, JSTOR, humanitarian documents, Somali chat forums etc. and I have found 7 in total. This is my current order of battle. Any information (sources included would be greatly appreciated). I have attempted to contact former warlords, SNA veterans or historians and nothing. Please help
