Gulf War casualty numbers are controversial. Coalition military deaths have been reported to be around 378, but the DoD reports that US forces suffered 147 battle-related and 235 non-battle-related deaths, plus one F/A-18 Hornet Navy pilot listed as MIA. The UK suffered 47 deaths, the Arab countries lost 39 men (18 Saudis, 10 Egyptians, 6 from the UAE, 3 Syrians, and 1 Kuwaiti), and France lost 2 men. The largest single loss of Coalition forces happened on February 25, 1991, when an Iraqi Al-Hussein missile hit an American military barrack in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia killing 28 U.S. Army Reservists from Pennsylvania.

Although to this day no one knows exactly how many Iraqis died during Operation Desert Storm, several attempts to tally the dead have been made. Carl Conetta of the Project on Defense Alternatives estimated that more than 2500 Iraqi civilians and probably more than 20,000 soldiers were killed. This is a drastic contrast from deaths of U.S. soldiers, which only numbered 293.
