DS was a transitioning time between conventional warfare and hi-tech warfare. Aviation assets conducted most of the fighting, destroying armored fighting vehicles by the hundreds...and often at safe distances. This left little left for the ground units to engage. When it was all over, within approximately 45 days or so, the mission had been accomplished; Iraq was successfully removed from the nation of Kuwait.
