War in the Gulf
Desert Storm: The Ground Assault (1x2)
: 08, 2004
Following the continual pummelling of Iraqi forces by
Coalition air forces, the ground units launched a rapid three
-day drive deep into the left flank of Iraqi forces, routing
the battle hardened armies of Saddam Hussein in one of the
most stunning victories in modern warfare. Join the ranks of
Marine and Saudi units fighting for Khafji, then follow the
Coalition's heavy manoeuvre divisions in a sweeping, flanking
manoeuvre. The Ground Assault examines the weapons and tactics
of the Desert Storm ground offensive in dramatic fashion using
actual footage from the Gulf. Discuss the implications of the
seemingly crushing victory with the soldiers responsible for
securing Kuwait's freedom and the experts tasked to analyze
the incredible victory in the desert.
