<entity_0> (Arabic: عملية المحارب اليقظ‎) was a <entity_1> from 8 October 1994 to <entity_2> by the United States in response to two divisions of Iraqi Republican Guard troops moving toward the <entity_4> border. Also on 8 October, the 23rd Wing's (Flying Tigers) 75th Fighter Squadron (Tigersharks) and its full complement of A-10s initially deployed from Pope AFB, North Carolina to Dhahran AB, <entity_3>, followed by the first forward deployment to Ahmed al Jabber AB, <entity_4>. Others have argued that Saddam never intended to actually invade <entity_4> and the movements were intended as a provocation to draw attention to <entity_5>'s plight under the international sanctions regime. <entity_5> formally recognized <entity_4>'s independence at the end of the crisis on 10 November. The Joint Meritorious Unit Award given went to HQ United States Military Training Mission Riyadh, <entity_3>, 8 October 1994 through <entity_2>, for <entity_0>. U.S. servicemembers who participated were authorized the Southwest Asia Service Medal, but not the <entity_4> Liberation Medal (<entity_3>) nor the <entity_4> Liberation Medal (<entity_4>) due to these events taking place after the end dates of those specific medals.
