English: Map of the final push into the city center of Tikrit by the Iraqi Army and Shi'ite militas, during the Second Battle of Tikrit (March–April 2015). The map covers Iraqi offensives from March 13–29. After March 13, the offensive was paused for 2 weeks, due to the unexpectedly high Iraqi casualties, and the need to bring in urban warfare specialists reinforcements. On March 25, the offensive resumed, with Iraqi forces beginning the final push into the city center on March 29. The map was obtained from Stratfor Global Intelligence. The red arrows indicate the main Iraqi offensives prior to March 13, while the purple arrows (red in the original map) indicate the final push into the the city center of Tikrit. The area of central Tikrit held by ISIL is highlighted in green.
