• Link Innsbruck, tank destroyer in the lede. Generally link on first appearance of a term.

• This article should be written in American English, so mobilized, not mobilised, etc.

 Done. -ise(d) and armour(ed) fixed; can't spot anything similar.

• Need more details on how it was organized, both as a towed AT battalion and with the M18 Hellcats. You've given a rough manpower count early, which is good, but how companies did it have, and how many guns/Hellcats per company? Rough data should be in Zaloga.
  • Lede still refers to them with towed 3-inch guns.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 15:14, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

Done now, I think, for all three organisations. I couldn't find an explicit statement that they used the 1943 SP TO&E when converting back to M18s, but it seems a safe inference; the reconnaissance company definitely reappeared and Gabel doesn't mention any other organisational structure.

• Rewrite this as it's too wordy: a group of eight men returned to retrieve them the following night, successfully recovering the guns.

• Don't capitalize surrender in Surrender of Japan

• Names of medal recipients unnecessary unless individually notable.

 Done I vacillated about this initially but included them mostly out of curiosity. Happy to remove them... Andrew Gray (talk) 19:58, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

• Fix the typo in Gimlette.

• Need place of publication for each book.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 00:30, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

 Done (except the AAR, not formally published) Andrew Gray (talk) 19:58, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
