In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Praise be to God, The Cherisher and Sustainer of the Worlds, and may God's prayers and peace be upon our Prophet, Muhammad and his family and all his Companions, hence:

Below is a report of the borders of the sectors: Definition of a sector: It is a limited establishment with certain number that is regulated by administrative regulations and has either natural or artificial geographical borders. Components of a sector: Individuals, weapons and vehicles, social reality, geographical spot from earth. The main considerations in dividing sectors: - The availability of an adequate quantity. - The presence of a sub district center as a minimum for the administrative units. - The presence of strategic locations and essential considerations for the group. - The presence of (natural or artificial) geographical dividers. - The insignificant groups would either join any nearby sector or remain independent and work on its advancement to a level of a sector. Below is a table explaining the borders of the sectors that are amongst the geographical spot, operates by the sector. By observing the border of the sectors, we noticed that there are some groups far from these borders, and were attached to a sector due to the inability of opening a sector, and others were kept independent with the division of the some large sectors: Serial Name of Sector Borders around the Sector Comments Number 1 Al-Mosul West toward Rabi'ah, south to al- To be divided into Qiyarah (internal) side, north is two sectors in Dahuk, and east is the border of al- accordance with the Mosul city requirements 2 Left Sharqat From the borders of al-Qiyarah north of the left coast to the south of al-Zab side, east of al-Zab river and west of Dijlah river 3 Right Sharqat From the borders of al-Qiyarah sub district north of the right coast to al- Sharqat district inside the borders of the south of Baiji district and east of Dijlah river 4 al-Huwayjah From the center of al-Huwayjah (To be divided into

The problems that challenge us during the division of the sectors are: 1. Distributing the weapons equally to the sectors after the division. 2. Distributing the available vehicles to the sectors.

[Page 3 of 3]

3. The interpenetration amongst the sectors that were one sector (during the nonexistence of separators in the division). Decision: Rename the sectors and bind by it, in order to eliminate the zonal and tribal considerations from souls of the brothers.
