- Abstract:
  The article discusses the ground-war phase of the U.S.-led Operation Desert Storm in Kuwait. Topics discussed include Operation Desert Storm which is called Nintendo War due to the mechanized formations of the Marine forces, American troops and vehicles deployed in Kuwait which have the highest number since the Vietnam War, and the offensive strike against the invading Iraqis following the refusal of former Iraq president Saddam Hussein to pull its troops from Kuwait.
