Gulf War/Liberation and Defense of Kuwait
From Month/Year
January / 1991
To Month/Year
April / 1991

Description
The Liberation of Kuwait was the campaign to retake Kuwait from Iraq after the massive air campaign, between 24–28 February 1991. U.S. troops and the Coalition entered to find the Iraqis surrendering en masse; however, pockets of resistance existed, particularly at Kuwait International Airport where Iraqi troops, seemingly unaware that a retreat order had been issued to them, continued to fight, resulting in a fierce battle over the airport itself. The majority of the fighting took place in Iraq, rather than Kuwait.

Personal Memories

People You Remember
82nd ABN DIV


Memories
I don't think anybody from the 82nd actually made it into Kuwait. We were in Iraq, west of the Kuwaiti border. We got campaign credit though.

The day before the war ended it rained about as hard as I have ever seen it. We were near Kamasyia (kama see uh) and we destroyed an ASP that was supposedly 57 KILO TONS.
