Anthony Swofford (born August 12, 1970) is an American writer and former U.S. Marine, best known for his 2003 book Jarhead, based heavily on his accounts of various situations encountered in the Persian Gulf War. This memoir was the basis of the 2005 film of the same name, directed by Sam Mendes. The title refers to a nickname for the Marines, which itself is derived from the traditional high and tight haircuts favored by the Marines, giving them a "jar-like" appearance. More

Pursuant to statute, the Department of Defense prepared this Interim Report which reflects many of the preliminary impressions formed by the Department since the cessation of hostilities. It was noted that much of the technical information needed for sound analysis was still being collected and the final report by the Commander-in-Chief of Central Command had not yet been completed. This report presents a unique snapshot understanding of the conflict and the role played by American armed forces. Pursuant to Title V, Public Law 102-25, this report discusses the conduct of hostilities in the Persian Gulf theater of operations. It builds on the Department's Interim Report of July 1991. A proper understanding of the conduct of these military operations the extraordinary achievements and the needed improvements is an important and continuing task of the Department of Defense as we look to the future. The Persian Gulf War was the first major conflict following the end of the Cold War. The victory was a triumph of Coalition strategy, of international cooperation, of technology, and of people. It reflected leadership, patience, and courage at the highest levels and in the field. Under adverse and hazardous conditions, our airmen, soldiers, sailors, and marines once again played the leading role in reversing a dangerous threat to the world and to our national interests. Their skill and sacrifice lie at the heart of this important triumph over aggression. More

Washington, DC: GAO, 1993. quarto, 15, wraps, notes, table, appendices, some waviness to entire document The GAO reviewed the adequacy of medical supply inventories at Army hospitals deployed during the Persian Gulf conflict. The objectives of the review "were to determine whether (1) Army hospitals encountered medical supply shortages in preparing for Operation Desert Storm and, if so, why and (2) the industrial base was able to supply requested items on time and, if not, whether hospitals experienced shortages as a result." GAO went on to "describe how the Army plans to meet wartime requirements for medical supplies during future contingencies." GAO reported, among itsresults, that "All 10 of the Army hospitals we reviewed ... reported shortages of some medical supplies during the build up for the ground offensive for Operation Desert Storm." GAO found that "The initial shortages of medical supplies arose because hospitals were shipped to the Persian Gulf without their full complement of medical supplies." More
Washington, DC: GAO, 1991. quarto, 19, wraps, tables, appendices This is a review of the Army's use of Reverse Osmosis Water Purification Unit (ROWPU) equipment during Operation Desert Storm. Specifically reviewed were production capability and performance of equipment deployed to Operation Desert Storm and the Army's projections of ROWPU production capability during the operation, and the status of the Army's program to buy 3,000-gallon-per hour ROWPU equipment. Bottom line was that the Army could not determine how much water support the ROWPU equipment actually provided or how well it performed. More
Washington, DC: GAO, 1993. quarto, 21, wraps, table, figure, appendices During Operation Desert Storm, at least 25 U. S. military personnel were killed by U. S. submunitions and others were injured. The Army attributed 16 of these deaths, including 2 members of the Connecticut National Guard's 142nd Medical Company, to inappropriate handling of these submunitions. The M42, M46, and M77 submunitions are small, cylindrically shaped explosive devices with a bell-like top. Army weapon systems using these submunitions during Operation Desert Storm were the Multiple Lauch Rocket System (MLRS), 155 mm howitzer, and 8-inch howitzer. One of the results of the GAO review was that the "Army did not maintain data on the dud rate of submunitions acutally used in Operation Desert Storm." The review also noted that "the Army is making training changes that should enable soldiers entering a battlefield to recognize the hazards of handling unexploded ordnance." More
