[edit] Troop Strengths

To be digested later:

Ten Army posts were maintained on Mindanao and three in the Sulu Archipelago. Elements of more than a dozen infantry and six cavalry regiments saw field service in "Moroland" during the conflict. Troop strength in the region averaged just under 5,000 men.

Assuming an average two-year tour of duty, and allowing for extensions, some 20,000 U.S. troops served in Moro country during the 12 years of sporadic hostilities. (Troops were rotated then by unit and not as individuals.)

Hurley also has estimates for total number of Moro warriors, IIRC. crazyeddie 19:58, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

"Between 1903 and 1905, American soldiers killed more than 3,000 Muslims in Mindanao." [1] crazyeddie 06:36, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Battle of Utig

Found reference to a series of three battle on Jolo, May 1905, including a battle at Utig. Haven't found references elsewhere. crazyeddie 20:27, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Datu Ali of Cotabato

Need to come up with a name for the campaign against him - it definitely qualifies for an article by itself. Suggestions? crazyeddie 20:27, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
