The contents of this paper begin during the pre-deployment phase for Operation DESERT SHIELD, when I was a Squad Leader in C/2/325 Airborne Infantry Regiment, 82nd Airborne Division, located at Ft. Bragg, North Carolina. As a part of the United States of Americas Quick Reaction Force, my unit was part of the Division Ready Brigade on 2 Aug 90. That day Iraq invaded the sovereign nation of Kuwait. The contents of this paper will end with the beginning of the ground war.
