• W313620452 abstract "Iraqi armored forces maneuver toward the Kuwaiti border. Air defense systems are activated. Aircraft begin violating the UN-imposed no-fly zone over southern Iraq. Kuwaiti and Saudi Arabian military forces go on high-alert status. International news agencies report increased tension and possible terrorist activities within the region. US embassies in the region issue travel advisories and warnings to Americans. In short, peace and stability within the Persian Gulf region are threatened. IN THE SUMMER OF 1990, this scenario eventually led to war between coalition forces and Iraq. However, when these conditions were repeated in the fall of 1995 and 1996, Iraqi forces quickly retreated, redeployed back to their garrisons and the Hussein government complied with restrictions imposed at the Persian Gulf War's end. What accounts for the difference? What achieved such effective deterrence this time? Was it diplomatic pressure or economic sanctions? The simple answer: it was an armored brigade from the 1 st Cavalry Division (Cav Div), Fort Hood, Texas, backed by other joint team members, poised 25 kilometers south of Iraq's border and ready to fight in September 1996. Within six short days of being alerted, the lst Cav Div deployed 3,000 trained and ready soldiers to man fully loaded MIAI tanks, M2A2 infantry fighting vehicles, 155mm self-propelled Paladin howitzers, multiplelaunch rocket systems and Bradley Stinger air defense systems, along with the requisite supply, maintenance and medical support structure into Kuwait. The US Army, supported by US Air Force strategic deployment assets, resolved a potential crisis quietly and restored the peace by the most compelling influence our nation has always possessed-American soldiers on the ground, well led, trained, equipped and ready to fight. The strategic significance of moving 3,000 First Team troopers 9,000 miles from Fort Hood should not be underestimated. lives up to its commitments and stands by its friends. The 1 st Cav Div is the unit that's just put the iron into that commitment, said US Ambassador to Kuwait Ryan Clark Crocker. Nor can the emotional value of the prompt arrival of a combat-ready, heavily armored and modernized force be ignored. There's a lot of Kuwaitis who will sleep better tonight knowing the 1st Cavalry Division is here, said Crocker. Implementing Force Projection Strategy Such a capability was unimaginable six years ago. In fact, the contrast is astounding. When Iraq invaded and occupied Kuwait in 1990, the same armored brigade took almost six weeks to deploy to Saudi Arabia by air and sea, integrate soldiers with equipment and ammunition, deploy to tactical assembly areas and stand ready for combat. This deployment transformation signifies that our Army has become the capability of choice to impose the will of our nation and create the deterrent effect required by our post-Cold War national military strategy (NMS)a strategy of force projection. Reducing the time to put a powerful, combined arms brigade in northern Kuwait in six days instead of six weeks required extraordinary change and investment. The Army changed its doctrine, training strategy and combat training centers and invested in standard deployment containers and air, rail and sea force-projection platforms. Equally important, Army leaders pre-positioned equipment in strategically important theatersboth on the ground and at sea. And despite the drawdown, the Army invested in recruiting, retaining the best soldiers America has ever had. Due to NMS changes, US forces have expected and maintained an increased operations tempo in military exercises and overseas commitments. Regional conflicts and threats to our vital interests have provided opportunities to demonstrate the Army's power-projection capability. The two 1st Cav Div deployments are examples of this unique ability to respond to Iraqi aggression. But deployments like this do not happen overnight. …" @default.
