SUMMARY:Operation Desert Storm Begins
DESCRIPTION:The Gulf War was a military conflict between Iraq and a coalition of 42 countries led by the United States. The coalition’s actions unfolded in two major phases: Operation Desert Shield\, which involved the buildup of military forces from August 1990 to January 1991\, and Operation Desert Storm\, which started with an aerial bombing campaign against Iraq on January 17\, 1991\, and concluded with the U.S.-led liberation of Kuwait on February 28\, 1991. \nThe American public witnessed the conflict\, as it was the first war that accommodated live television broadcasts from the front lines. American troops also experienced notable firsts\, including the largest tank battle in history; the first use of the Patriot missile system in combat to intercept Iraqi Scud missiles\, and the first time GPS precision-guided munitions were used on a large scale (Source: U.S. Department of Defense). \nLearn More: \n\nCasualty Report: Defense Casualty Analysis System\nDesert Shield/Desert Storm: Air Force History\nDesert Storm Overview: U.S. Army Center of Military History\nDesert Storm: U.S. Department of Defense\nGary Kunich: Firsthand Account\nGulf War Chronology: National Desert Storm War Memorial\nGulf War: History.com\nMOAA Members: Firsthand Accounts\nUSAF: Firsthand Accounts\n\nSupport is Available\nReflecting on the significant battles in U.S. history can evoke strong emotions.
