In August, 1990, in response to Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, the Nomads (The 33rd Fighter Wing.) deployed 24 F-15s to Saudi Arabia in support of Operation DESERT SHIELD. On January 17, 1991, as Operation DESERT STORM began, the Nomads scored the first aerial victory of the war, finishing the conflict with 16 kills, the most of any allied unit in the conflict.
