No idea what each side have, but here is a map for the current battle for Fallujah or Operation Inherent Resolve.

I imagine that ISIS are pretty low on supplies.

I note that the US had a hard time taking Fallujah from Al-Queda although Al-Queda probably didnt have the supply and fatigue issues ISIS have. Either way, it will be interesting to see how Iraq fairs.

I have added Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) based on the Wikipedia link for them and broken them down to 6 main affiliations:

• Mahdi Army
• Kata'ib Hezbollah
• Kata'ib Sayyid al-Shuhada
• Kata'ib al-Imam Ali
• Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq
• Badr Organization

I think there are up to 20 entities under the umbrella butI dont really know who.

Interesting article in the National Post that discusses the problem that the Iraqi forces have working with the PMF, mainly that they dont work together and have problems coordinating. However, it appears that the PMF is larger and more powerful than the Iraqi Army itself. However, I think its the iraqi Army that have the monopoly on hardware and its their special forces (not detailed here yet) that are spearheading the assault on Fallujah although that itself I think is a issue that the Iraqi Army and the PMF have that is currently slowing things down (8 June 2016).

I have also added Anbars Federal Police units which i think are integral to holding areas once they have been walked through by the main offensive elements. There are 10 companies altogether but im not sure if they call themselves companies. Either way, they should proove effective in stopping ISIS units just walking back into empty locations.
