Operation Desert Storm was a code-name of the
military action to eject the Iraqi army from
Kuwait in 1991. The buildup phase was
code-named Operation Desert Shield and lasted
from August 1990, when Kuwait was first
invaded by Iraq, to January 1991 when
Operation Desert Storm was unleashed,
starting the Gulf War. Desert Storm ended
with the defeat of the Iraqi army in the
Kuwaiti theater of operations late February
1991. The cost of the operation was in excess
of $53 billion.
