Here is a very rough outline:(taken from S&T 139)

Iraq uses a Russian type unit organization with 11-13,000 men per division.
Most divisions have 12-16 ground combat battalions. Iraqi infantry divisions
have 9 infantry battalions and one or more tank battalions. Tanks battalions
have 35-44 tanks each. There are 11 armour and mechanized divisions with about
80 tank battalions.  Each division has from 40-100 artillery pieces.
