In this blog, and in a few of the following ones, I would like to introduce you to some of the units that were depicted in the soldiers art painted on the T-Walls around Camp Buehring, Kuwait. If you have any information you would like to add, or if you can more correctly describe the unit, or if I am totally off the mark, please contact us at the contact page on the website www.theartofwarinkuwait.com. Thank you.
