This is what I get for not keeping my sources on hand. Apologies for the delay.

Here is one option. I understand if you would be sceptical about some rando blog, especially with that kind of profile picture (I know I was), but the fellow cites his sources, so you can check them yourself, if needed.

On topic of other conflicts, I sadly have nothing on hand, except to note that everywhere - from Vietnam to Libya to Afghanistan, there was always a “local” military doing the dirty work and usually composed of colourful characters.
