The Army's involvement in Kuwait began with the deployment of the 82nd Airborne Division to Saudi Arabia in August 1990. The 82nd was quickly followed by other Army units, and by the end of the year, over 500,000 US troops were deployed to the region. The Army's mission in Kuwait was to liberate the country from Iraqi occupation and to restore the Kuwaiti government. The Army also played a key role in providing humanitarian assistance to the Kuwaiti people and in rebuilding the country's infrastructure.

The Army's efforts in Kuwait were successful in achieving their objectives. The Iraqi army was defeated and expelled from Kuwait, and the Kuwaiti government was restored.

The Army's experience in Kuwait is a model for future post-conflict reconstruction efforts, and it is a testament to the Army's ability to adapt and to succeed in complex and challenging environments.
