For the last decade, the Army has been actively engaged in the War on Terror. Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) began on October 7, 2001 with allied air strikes on Taliban and Al Quada targets in Afghanistan. Even though United States President Barrack Obama announced the drawdown of Armed Forces in Afghanistan by the end of 2016, OEF would have lasted 15 years, becoming the Army’s longest war in the United States history (Taylor, 2014). On the other hand, Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) lasted approximately 105 months, beginning in March 2003 and lasted until December 2011 with the withdrawal of combat troops from Iraq (Schifrin, 2011).

The Apache firmly secured that position in the opening moments of Operation Desert Storm by proving that it was capable of accomplishing missions well beyond its intended purpose. Due to its success in Desert Storm and subsequent conflicts, it is now the attack helicopter of choice for the United States Army and its Allies around the world. Its success has led to multiple subsequent models that built on the airframe and success of the original AH-64A models.

In the events of Desert Strom, the most impactful and successful missile system, the Patriot, was successful thanks to German created air missile defense. Research and development of this system began in the early 1940s as a product of the Cold War. The United States and Soviet Union used German rocket scientist, who had been captured at the ends of World War two, to create Ballistic missiles. These missiles were made from the V-2 rocket and German surface air missile named Wasserdall. Although this system of defense was unable to be tested in the field before the war ended. Twenty years later, the Soviet Union was able to bring to field the first Russian tactical ballistic missile. Due to the development and research of this missile, it opened the doors wider for the Patriot in the 1960s. By 1967 a missile was to carry either a warhead of nuclear or conventional power known as the Surface- To-Air Missile Development (SAM-D). Two years later in 1969, an American missile had its first success against a tactical Ballistic missile. General Schwarzkopf stated “when the history of Desert Storm is written, the Patriot system will

In November 1942, Allied Forces launched a strategic operation (Operation Torch) to establish presence in North Africa. The insertion of three task forces into the North African front invaded three beaches (two west of Algiers and one east of Algiers). Operation Torch was successful; however, General Dwight Eisenhower did not achieve the strategic objective of pushing forces into Tunisia. By failing to do so, German and Italian forces activated reserve forces and built combat power in Tunisia. In mid-December 1942, Germans deploy forces in northern Tunisia from Sicily and Italy, winning the race to seize Tunis (Zaloga, 2005).
