Has The New Iraqi Army Won A Single Battle Without US Forces

Much has been written about the new Iraqi army we are building. With it lies the hopes for the Iraq we are supposedly bringing about.

Well, we've been building this army for some years now, and they are fighting ragtag insurgents.

I would just like to know if the new Iraqi army has won a single battle or skirmish on it's own, ever. It seems every time I read of something happening, it's "US and Iraqi forces" this and "US and Iraqi forces" that. I don't seem to recall reading anything like, "Iraqi forces killed 12 insurgents today, took over their stronghold and retreived many weapons and much ammo".

Does anybody recall Iraqi forces doing anything like that?
