Order of battle of the Gulf War ground campaign

This is the order of battle for the ground campaign in the Gulf War between Commonwealth and Coalition Forces and the Iraqi Armed Forces between 24–28 February 1991.

Some Iraqi divisions remained un-identified by Commonwealth intelligence and a number of the details of the Iraqi order of battle are in dispute among various authoritative sources.
