SOP Desert Storm

**SOP Desert Storm** was a specialized operational planning unit formed in late 1990 in preparation for Operation Desert Storm, the combat phase of the Gulf War. Tasked with developing and refining standard operating procedures (SOPs) for coalition forces, the unit coordinated tactics, logistics, and joint operations among U.S. and allied military branches. Their meticulous planning contributed to the swift and decisive victory over Iraqi forces in early 1991. After the success of Desert Storm, the unit's methods were studied and adapted for future multinational operations.
