# Liberation of Kuwait campaign order of battle

"none" is a legitimate description when the title is already adequate; see [[WP:SDNONE]]
This is the order of battle for the Liberation of Kuwait campaign during the Gulf War between Coalition forces and the Iraqi Armed Forces between February 24–28, 1991. The order that they are listed in are from west to east. Iraqi units that were not in the Kuwaiti Theater of Operations are excluded from this list. Some Iraqi divisions remained un-identified by Department of Defense intelligence and a number of the details of the Iraqi order of battle are in dispute among various authoritative sources.
