against high-value Iraqi targets, return to Barksdale,
completing 14,000-mile, 35-hour nonstop mission-longest

Coalition attack sorties reach one-day record of 3,500. Bush
announces that coalition forces would suspend offensive
operations the next day at 8 a.m. local time. Bush says Iraq
must end military action, free all POWs, third country
nationals, and Kuwaiti hostages, release remains of
coalition forces killed in action, agree to comply with all
UN resolutions, and reveal location of land and sea mines.

👉 Operation Desert Storm - The Beginning of the Gulf War.

On January 16, 1991, President George H. W. Bush announced
the start of what would be called Operation Desert Storm
—a military operation to expel occupying Iraqi forces from
Kuwait, which Iraq had invaded and annexed months earlier.

For weeks, a U.S.-led coalition of two dozen nations had
positioned more than 900,000 troops in the region, most
stationed on the Saudi-Iraq border. A U.N.-declared deadline
for withdrawal passed on January 15, with no action from Iraq,
so coalition forces began a five-week bombardment of Iraqi
command and control targets from air and sea.

Despite widespread fears that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein
might order the use of chemical weapons, a ground invasion
followed in February. Coalition forces swiftly drove Iraq
from Kuwait, advancing into Iraq, and reaching a cease-fire
within 100 hours—controversially leaving Saddam Hussein in
power.

While coalition casualties were in the hundreds, Iraqi
losses numbered in the tens of thousands.

Weapons of Mass Destruction? Chemical Weapons?
