Article: Modern Warfare: Desert Storm, Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom.
What I pulled from this article is the warfare combat and techniques used during Desert Storm that helped the military grow in their battles. Also this has relative connection with what Mr. Villasenor was told to do and did do in combat.
