Operation Desert Storm

Description
January 17th 1991, Time: 0300, Begin of Operation Desert Storm, the "Mother of all battles", as called by the Iraqis. It was the largest military buildup since WW2, which aimed to drive back all Iraqi forces from Kuwait, which had previously been invaded and annexed by Iraq.

Your objective is to punch through the enemy defensive lines and capture the city of Kuwait.

For this you have several US Navy elements to your disposal, as well as one US Airforce division and two US Marine divisions.

This mission is a true full specturm operation, and you will command air, land and sea units all at once. Therefore you should bring a lot of time, since it is a very large mission. Nonetheless, it is still only a small portion of what the real Operation Desert Storm consisted of.

To win the battle as the coalition forces, you will have to bring at least one unit of 1st Marine Division, one unit of 2nd Marine Division, as well as one unit of 1st Brigade into the designated area in Kuwait city.

To win as Iraq, you must destroy all enemy land forces.

I've tried to put as much emphasis on historical accuracy as possible, but many units that should have been present in this operation simply aren't in the game yet, such as F/A18, F111, F117, AH64, and many ships and other planes. But I will update the mission if those units ever find their way into the game.

Also, the framerate on my end was not good at all. I am not sure if the game requires more optimization, or if the mission is simply too large for the game to handle. So beware.

@simo128 IRL the Iraqi Airforce had almost no planes available, which is why I only added so few F-15's. But I might add some more Iraqi planes that come from the Iraqi main land to make up for the extra added F-15's. Either way, thanks a lot for the feedback!

@Donar ok maybe not 20 at least another 10 and there are already 4 in the Air , bomber is a must in order to open up the road for ground forces .
The mission is nice and i have no issue running it in my pc .
Cant wait for other parts if the mission

@simo128 you want another 20 F15? lol. I think the mission might crash if I add even more units. It already feels quite demanding as is. The US airfield was inteded as a FARP (forward air refueling point), since the nearest actual coalition airbase was in Dhahran, which is quite far, unfortunately the game has some bugs where names given to units sometimes won't stick, which is why it's called airbase. I'll try to see if I can figure out how to select which planes are inside of airbases. Also, there should be 8 AH-1 Cobra's as part of 1st & 2nd Marine Division (Air Wing) in the mission.

@Donar , man first off thank you for just a wonderful mission, second , yes airbases are just like Carrier you can choose it and order AC to take off , my issue is not having awacs ,you are right i have enough of them on the carriers however i want at least another 20 F15 to fly rotation of CAP and also bomber to pave the way for ground forces . I wish i know how to do that in the mission editor. If you can do this and update the mission i will be grateful. Also AH 1 cobra

@simo128 As far as I know, you can't chose with aircraft are inside an airbase. But I will add one E-3A from the 552nd Air Control Wing and three B-52D from the 2nd Bomb Wing to the mission.
