CentCom recieved 7 Joint Meritorious Unit Awards between 1985 and 2000. The last one was actually awarded in March 2001, but it covers all of CentCom's activities between November 1999 and March 2001.
SOCCent recieved 4 Joint Meritorious Unit Awards between 1985 and 2000. Again, their fourth award covers SOCCent's activites between November 1999 and March 2001.
How does the Iraq War compare to other wars that the US has fought since 1900?
They are fighting in wide open desert (little cover) and high temperatures which most of the soldiers aren't use too, but have to deal with.

How much money did Iraq owe Kuwait after the Iran-Iraq War?
Answer 1
Iraq owes billions to Iran because they start the war against Iran. Iraq also owes to Kuwait, Saudi, Jordan, Germany, France and England, because they gave Saddam free weapons to attack Iran and now they claim their money!
Answer 2
Iraq had a $14 billion debt from Kuwait. It also had debts from several other Gulf Countries. However, regardless of how hurt Iranians feel from the war (over 600,000 dead soldiers and $500 billion in economic losses) Iraq has no financial obligation to Iran. The UNSC Resolution 598 armistice agreement that ended the war (de facto) did not require either side to help pay the other's costs. There has been no treaty to supersede the armistice.

Did anyone with mwss-273 contract gulf war illnesses after desert storm in 1991?
Is "mwss-273" a unit? Notwithstanding that question; the most advertised and "new" illness's from DS was the "Depleted Uranium" sickness. That caught alot of military and civilian personnel by surprise. Armor defeating tank shells were used for penetrating armor, DU being a better metal to defeat armor with. Of course, possibly, not many people expected friendly personnel to go exploring shot up and abandoned armored fighting vehicles (AFV's), which sometimes resulted in personnel getting sick from DU exposure.
