See main article: Gulf War. Following the invasion of Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates condemned the Iraqi aggression, supported Kuwaiti independence and rapidly opened all of its airports for coalition use.[1] Additionally, ports and shipyard facilities in the UAE were made available for the deployment of coalition forces. The UAE Armed Forces participated in the coalition with an army battalion along with a squadron of Dassault Mirage 5 and Mirage 2000. Six Emirati troops were killed in action.[2]
