Within hours, the Kuwaiti defenses collapse under the onslaught of the Iraqi Army. In response, the US military leads a coalition of thirty-four nations in what becomes Operation Desert Storm-a violent campaign to eject the Iraqis from Kuwait.

Although significantly outnumbered and outgunned, Ghost Troop won a decisive victory with minimal losses to their own ranks.
