If any was used, it wasn't the US. Prior to the end of the cold war in '90 (if it hadn't had ended the US certainly wouldn't have moved military forces into Saudi Arabia in 1990 during Operation Desert Shield); US policy was never to use Bio wpns, use chemical wpns only in retaliation; and the US "reserved" the right for FIRST STRIKE with nukes.

What uniforms were worn in Operation Desert Storm?

Traditionally US Army personnel have not been issued camoflage uniforms as general issue (general issue means issued to everybody). The first general issue of camoflage uniforms for the US Army was possibly the green camoflaged BDU's of the post Vietnam War 1980's (BDU-Battle Dress Uniform). Desert Storm saw the first general issue of "Desert Camoflaged Uniforms & boots" for the US Army. Those uniforms have changed at least twice again during the current Operation Iraqi Freedom (2003-to present). During Desert Storm, the popular term for the Desert Camoflage used was "Chocolate Chip Cammies", which were much different than the DCU's (Desert Camoflage Uniform) of the early OIF/OEF campaigns. Currently all the services utilize their own combat uniform except the Navy, which maintains the DCU (For the time being).
