The difference I care about can be seen in the difference in what happened in Fallujah and what happened in the Holy Cities in the South

The Army, through the 82nd, 3ID and 1st Cav "controlled" Fallujah from April 2003 to March 20, 2004. The cities of the Shi'ite South ... Nasariyah, Kut, Najaf, Samanwah, Karbala and Basra ... were pacified by the Marines and Royal Marines.

Other than that, you're really accurate.
