	The Gulf War - Operation Granby - Operations summary of the Gulf War
		In the first 24 hours of offensive operations RAF aircraft flew a total of 101 sorties, an intensity of activity which was sustained throughout the early period of the conflict.
		Initially operating over the Persian Gulf, their tasking was soon extended to the Gulf of Oman, where the bulk of intervention operations took place.
		Tornado F3 Modifications were made to enhance operational performance, including software changes to the radar main computer and radar warning equipment; provision of chaff and infra-red flares for self defence; fitting jam resistant radios; and application of radar absorbent material to reduce the aircraft's radar signature.

	British Chemical Warfare Defence (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		From the outset of Operation GRANBY, there was a consensus that a new NBC alarm system was required for use in theatre, particularly because alarms in the Gulf needed to be transmitted over large distances.
		The key positions in the Operation GRANBY NBC chain of command tended to be filled by RAF officers, and Army personnel in theatre tended to seek advice from those in their own Service, and from DNBCC, where they had been trained.
		At the time of Operation GRANBY, British doctrine was based around operational decontamination, where equipment would be decontaminated only to the extent that was necessary to allow the operation to carry on, with troops then continuing to wear IPE and fight ‘dirty’.

		You also asked how many of the BDS vehicles operated by 1 FLU had arrived in-theatre with their scientific equipment damaged and how many were subsequently repaired to full operational capability by the end of the conflict.

		A 1991 photograph shows General Norman Schwarzkopf during his command of Operation Desert Storm, the combined military campaign for the liberation of Kuwait.
		The Gulf War, known to the Americans as ‘Desert Storm’ and to the British as ‘Operation Granby’, was the first large-scale demonstration of modern technological warfare, in which guided missiles, ‘smart’ munitions, night-vision equipment, infrared sensors, global positioning systems, cruise missiles, free-flight rockets with multiple warheads, antimissile missiles, and modern data communications systems were deployed.
		The result was a foregone conclusion: some of the most technical and competent troops in the world, most highly trained for 30 years to confront the Soviet Army should it venture west, were deployed against an army of the developing world, with limited military ability and technical capacity, and inadequate command.
