The United States-led coalition of thirty-four nations fought the Persian Gulf War to remove Saddam's control from Kuwait. After six weeks of fierce fighting in early 1991, the coalition forced Iraq to withdraw its troops from Kuwait on February 26, 1991. During their retreat, the Iraqi armed forces carried out a scorched earth policy by setting fire to Kuwaiti oil wells or releasing oil from those wells into the Persian Gulf. The fires took more than nine months to extinguish fully and the cost of repairs to the oil infrastructure exceeded $5.12 billion. Certain buildings and infrastructural facilities (including Kuwait International Airport) were ... severely damaged during the war. Kuwait remains under the governance of the Emir, Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jabir Al-Sabah (since 29 January, 2006) as an independent state and is of strategic importance to the United States.

The first planeload of U.S. Army armored and helicopter troops from Fort Stewart, Georgia, landed at Kuwait International Airport on 18 February 1998. They were part of a contingent of 3,000 infantry troops who received orders last week to join the U.S. force of 25,000 already in the Gulf region. In late winter and early spring 1998, several Tunner Loaders deployed to Ramstein Air Base, Germany, Moron Air Base, Spain, and Kuwait International Airport to support the surge of troops into Southwest Asia in response to Iraq's noncompliance with United Nations inspectors.
