We had the battle drills for "enter and clear a building."
But urban patrolling is a whole other skill that we didn't have captured at the time, FM 7-8 (Infantry Rifle Platoon and Squad) has patrolling as a skill, but the framework is forest/jungle and dismounted patrolling.
The insurgency didn't really get going until "mission accomplished," we "de-Ba'athd" the government and army. Then all of sudden we got motor'd every night and every convoy got IEDd and harassed with far ambushes. We built hillbilly gun trucks to escort KBR trucks once that all started.
