The "Promised Day Brigades (PDB) (Arabic: لواء اليوم الموعود - Liwa al-Youm
al-Mawud), originally called the Muqawimun is an Shi'a Islamist and insurgent
group operating in Iraq and recently also
Syria. In 2010 it was one of the largest and most powerful of what the US
military call
"Special Groups" in Iraq. The group was created as successor to Muqtada al-Sadr's Mahdi Army, which was
Iraq's largest Shi'a militia until its disbanding in 2008".
