During DESERT STORM, Coalition forces swiftly liberated Kuwait and defeated the fifth largest army in the world without suffering significant losses. The United States and our allies benefitted tremendously from superior national and theater intelligence during the war. Intelligence was recognized as a significant force multiplier and contributed directly (o the Coalition victory and the speed with which it was achioved. In the words of General Colin Powell, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, “No combat commander has ever had as full and complete view of the adversary as did our field commander Intelligence support to Operations DESERT SHIELD and DESERT STORM was @ success story. We continue to strive for better intelligence support to operational commanders and national consumers. Starting before the end of DESERT STORM, DIA conducted thorough examination of our performance in all aspects of intelligence support Working closely with the Defense Intelligence Community, the Military Intelligence Board, and US Central Command, DIA compiled a comprehensive list of lessons learned. In the six years since the end of the war, we have incorporated those les and joint intelligence doctrine. sons into plans, programs, products, organization The US Intelligence Community has directly benefitted from many of the improvements in crisis intelligence support made by Rear Admiral James M. McConnell (J-2 during the war) and many other intelligence professionals as a result of lessons learned from the Gulf War. Our intelligence support of US. UN. agé allied forces during numerous crises in the past few years has greatly improved as a result. The Intelligence Community activated Intelligence Task Forces, deployed National Intelligence Support Teams, and synchronized intelligence support for US and multi-national forces in Haiti and Bosnia As new generations of intelligence officers face what undoubtedly will be formidable future challenges with fewer available resources, the critical contributions of the US and allied Military (ntelligence Community during the Gulf Wer must not be forgotten. In a fast-paced world beset with trial and uncertainty. we are often forced to react with litte time (o study and adapt what we have learned. We need to apply what we learned in DESERT SHIELD and DESERT STORM. It is imperative, therefore, that we cocu-ee _ ment our accomplishments while the events ate fresh in our minds and the records are still in our possession, [fully support historical documents of this kind that record the critical role of Mili- tary Intelligence in a dangerous and rapidly changing world. This extensive chronol- ogy, the first of several unclassified publications, is a guide (o day-to-day support provided to the warfighter. It is for soldiers and strategists, policymakers and schol- ars, but most importantly, the practitioners of intelligence — our Nation's first line Few Patrick Hughes Lieutenant General, USA Director, DIAPREFACE In 1994, the DIA Director instructed the DIA History Office to begin writing historical Products not only for the DIA user, but also for consumers outside of the Agency. Begin- ‘ningin 1997, therefore, many historical publications, some short and others book-length, will become available at the classified and unclassified levels in support of the DIA mis- sion. They will serve the dual purpose of documenting historical events and informing the noa-DIA reader of the significance of the Agency’s contributions to our country’s national security. ‘The Agency has established, as onc of the highest prioritics in completing these publica~ tions, a comprehensive history of DIA’s role in supporting DESERT SHIELD and DESERT STORM. The task of preparing this history involved researching over a million pages of documentation and other primary source material. In addition, it required con- ducting many interviews with people who were key to the effort as well as seeking addi- tional documentation. DIA plans (o publish this book-length illustrated narrative, in classified and unclassified versions in 1997, This chronology is one of the by-products of the history and it will be included in the final publication. Pictures, drawings, charts, and maps have been added to make it more mezn. ingful. [have also appended a DIA organizational chart and glossary to sort the unavoid: able acronyms and abbreviations. This work is meant to be a chronology of Defense Intelligence support to DESERT SHIELD and DESERT STORM, not a detailed descrip- tion of those events ‘As with cach of the forthcoming publications, this chronology strives to meet the needs of the planner, analyst, researcher, student, and manager. With these primary users in mind, its purpose is to learn and set forth the lessons that are important to intelligence, and particularly the Defense Intelligence Agency as a Combat Support Agency. To insure a comprehensive, balanced, and accurate treatise, | solicited the assistance of individuals and source materials both inside and outside the Agency. | completed this chronology in a six-month period while researching and writing the first five chapters of the forthcoming book. This effort would not have been possible without the help and guidance of a number of people. First and foremost on that li Allen, the DIA Historian, who first conceived this project in August 1990. He assisted and advised me throughout the early stages of my research and writing, and deserves a great deal of the credit. Over the past six years he saved many of the critical documents and records that were vital to this undertaking,———— TS A number of other people have been especially generous in agreeing to interviews and taking the time te comment on my carly draits. These include Roy Apsetoff. Jim Claxton, Mel Geiger, John Moore, Dr. William Mussen, COL James Ritchey and Ed Valentine, in my own office, I have benelitted greatly from the advice of Curtis Utz and the assistance of Mirlin Toomer. This publication would not have been possible without the hard work and patience of Andrea Flowers, Monique Evans, and Barbara Smith in the Office for Publications. I would also be remiss in not mentioning the valuable support of MG John A. Leide, John T, Berbrich, John J. Sloan, James W. Lucas, Hans Pawliseh, LTC Steve B. Dietrich, and Don Lenker. Special thanks go to BG David A. Armstrong in the JCS History Office for his sup- port of this project.
