**Overview:** Operations DESERT SHIELD and DESERT STORM provided a         significant challenge to the Defense Intelligence Agency and to the Defense         Intelligence Community. During the early stages of DESERT SHIELD, the         United States and our allies faced a significant threat with only limited         infrastructure and minimal command, control, communications, and intelligence         assets in the region. During DESERT STORM, Coalition forces swiftly liberated         Kuwait and defeated the fifth largest army in the world without suffering         significant losses. Historical documents of this kind record the critical         role that Military Intelligence plays in a dangerous and rapidly changing         world . This extensive chronology, the first of several unclassified publications,         is a guide to day-to-day support provided to the warfighter. It is for         soldiers and strategists, policymakers and scholars, but most importantly,         the practitioners of intelligence -- our Nation's first line of defense.
