	Army of the Gulf - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		The XIX Corps was sent to the Shenandoah Valley and the forces that remained in the army participated in the land attack at the Battle of Mobile Bay.
		Canby was appointed command of the Department of the Gulf at the closing of the war and the forces once again became the Army of the Gulf.

	What is Gulf War Syndrome? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Soldiers in the Gulf region were exposed to a bewildering variety of nasties: oil smoke, nerve gas, vaccines, depleted uranium, fuel, insecticides, anti-nerve-gas medicines -- in addition to the usual dislocation, boredom, exhilaration and terror of wartime.
		Behind the disputes over gulf war syndrome is a long-standing argument over the effects of low doses of chemicals.
		According to this theory, gulf swar syndrome is a more heavily publicized and intensely researched version of the physical and psychological impact of waging war.

	CNN - Inspecting Iraq - Iraq's Army Organization
		Although the debate continues over the exact size of the losses suffered by Iraq in 1991, it is likely that the army ended the war, and subsequent uprisings, with as little as a quarter of its pre-war divisional strength, a quarter of pre-war manpower and half of its equipment.
		This discrepancy between nominal and real strength certainly deluded outside observers during the Gulf crisis, and it is quite likely that it deluded Saddam himself as to the true state of his military establishment.
		The number of regular army divisions has fallen from about seven armoured/mechanised and 20 infantry divisions to two or three armoured divisions, three mechanised divisions and 15 to 17 infantry divisions.

	Gulf War 10th anniversary
		But for the Army, the legacy of that war is that in conquering its foe, it became a victim of its own success.
		While sweeping changes in just about every aspect of the Army — war gear, training, doctrine and even shifting from the draft to an all-volunteer force — were spurred on by the failures of Vietnam, the unprecedented victory over Iraq has made it tough for the Army to evolve beyond the Cold War.
		The legacy of the Gulf War for the Army, many say, is as much about the changes made before the war as it is about lack of change after it.

		The Army used 105mm (M900) and 120mm (M829 and M829A1) ammunition with DU penetrators, in addition to non-DU rounds such as High Explosive Anti Tank (HEAT) shells, in Abrams tanks.
		However, the total quantity of DU rounds used in the Gulf before (during pre-combat live-fire training), during, and after the Gulf War was recorded and allows a reasonable estimate of rounds expended.
		The weapon was test fired over the Gulf, and during an accidental discharge of 4-5 shells that took place as Navy ships were responding to the launch of a shore-based anti-ship missile.

	The U.S. Army Chemical Materials Agency (CMA) - Khamisiyah Study
		A study entitled “Mortality in US Army Gulf War Veterans Exposed to 1991 Chemical Munitions Destruction,” indicates that soldiers exposed to low levels of nerve agent in 1991 at Khamisiyah, Iraq, may be at increased risk for brain cancer.
		Since the U.S. Army Chemical Materials Agency safely stores and destroys the nation’s chemical agent stockpile and recovered warfare materiel, it is important for employees and the public to understand that there are differences between what happened at Khamisiyah and how CMA safely conducts its operations.
		Since the soldiers were unaware of this, they did not follow Army procedures for the destruction of chemical munitions and some did not wear chemical protective gear.

		This study was undertaken to investigate whether possible exposure was associated with morbidity among Army Gulf War veterans using morbidity data for 5,555 Army veterans who were deployed to the Gulf region.
		We found little association between potential exposure and health, after adjustment for demographic variables, and conclude that potential exposure to sarin or cyclosarin at Khamisiyah does not seem to have adversely affected self-perceived health status, as evidenced by a wide range of health measures.
