Fewer Troop Casualties in Iraq

For US and Iraqi forces. This despite being in constant combat situations over the pass month. From SpaceWar:

The rate of deaths showed significant improvement on previous figures, reflecting the successful offensive tactical operations currently being carried out by U.S. forces. The loss rate was 2.4 U.S. soldiers killed per day compared with 3.3 per day during the previous three-day period. The loss rate was therefore less than half that in late October when 30 were killed during a five-day period, a rate of six per day.
This relative improvement was also reflected in the rate at which U.S. soldiers were being wounded in Iraq.

These striking improvements were also reflected in the falling casualties suffered by the Iraqi security forces. The scale of those casualties has now been falling since July.
