The U.S. operation to protect the oil fields of Saudi Arabia during the Gulf War was called Operation Desert Shield. Initiated in August 1990, it aimed to deter Iraqi aggression following Iraq's invasion of Kuwait by deploying U.S. and coalition forces to the region. This operation laid the groundwork for the subsequent Operation Desert Storm, which sought to liberate Kuwait.
