Zusammenfassung:	This study provides a history of the Army's use of External Support assets (host nation support and contractors) during the Persian Gulf War (Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm) in 1990 and 1991. The study details the Army's extensive reliance on external support and concludes that the prosecution of the war would have been significantly different had the Army not been able to rely on external support both in the early days of Operation Desert Shield and in Operation Desert Storm. The study shows how important contractors were compared to host nation support.
