	- GAO Report
		First, the effectiveness of air power in Desert Storm was inhibited by the aircraft sensors' inherent limitations in identifying and acquiring targets and by DOD's failure to gather intelligence on the existence or location of certain critical targets and its inability to collect and disseminate timely battle damage assessments (BDA).
		During Desert Storm, the ratio of guided-to- unguided munitions delivered did not vary, indicating that the relative preferences among these types of munitions did not change over the course of the campaign.
		For example, we found in Desert Storm that multiple strikes and weapon systems were used against the same targets; more munitions were delivered than peacetime test capabilities would indicate as necessary; determinations of whether target objectives were met were frequently unknown; and when objectives were met, the specific system responsible could not be determined.

	NETSTORM - Chapter 3
		Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm was one of the most demanding deployments in U.S. Army history in terms of both the distance involved and the speed at which a large number of troops and materiel had to be moved.
		The severe desert environment of the Persian Gulf region and the immaturity of the logistical theater of operations were two of the most formidable sustainment obstacles confronting MICOM and the PEOs for Air Defense and Fire Support, along with their respective project offices.
		Operation Desert Shield/ Desert Storm presented all of the Army agencies connected with the missile programs managed at Redstone Arsenal with the greatest wartime challenge in their respective histories.

	MetaVR Conner's Corner - Operation Conflict Desert Storm Review
		The landscapes in Conflict Desert Storm are bland and generally feel empty, due to a lack of vegetation and plain old detail.
		The horizons of Conflict Desert Storm are fairly short in distance, which can be a problem when you are trying to scout ahead in the game.
		Overall, Conflict Desert Storm is the equivalent of a poor man's SOCOM: US Navy Seals in that it has no online play, which many competitors offer.

		During Operation Desert Storm, soldiers trying to find their bearings in the desert landscape relied on handheld GPS receivers.
		The concept of the GPS system is simple, With the help of an onboard atomic clock, each satellite in the network continuously broadcasts a signal indicating the time and the spacecraft's exact position.
		GPS made it possible for the attackers to shift their attack plans back and forth virtually up to the moment of attack, since forces using it had no need for fixed markers on the ground.

		At the center of the storm was a seemingly insignificant Atlanta branch of a multinational Italian bank, Banca Nazionale del Lavoro (BNL), which somehow spirited $5 billion to Iraq over two years until raided by the FBI on August 4, 1989.
		Officials of the tiny BNL branch were portrayed as "rogue operators" by government prosecutors who didn't find it worth their time to ask how $5 billion (yes billion) could find its way from one bank to a "Worse-than-Hitler" dictator without the knowledge of government officials or at least the bank's higher-ups in Italy.
		Armstrong wrote that the previous decade, and at an astronomical cost of $200 billion, the United States and Saudi Arabia had assembled a massive infrastructure of "superbases" in the desert.
