Secret/Noforn, 1 p. On December 2, 1990, six weeks before the United States and its allies initiated Operation Desert Storm, Iraq test launched three Scud missiles from sites in eastern Iraq, which impacted in western Iraq.
During Operation DESERT STORM, naval aircraft were limited to deep attacks, targeting the Iraqi infrastructure. Strike warfare, as practiced by the Navy during the 1990-91 Gulf War, resulted in the new mission of close-air support being assigned to OV-10 and AH-1 aircraft.
