MagazineAfter playing cat and mouse with a 10,000-strong Iraqi Armored
Division to gain crucial intelligence, the Scouts of Marine 2nd Tank
Division think they are on their way home, but their war isn't over.
August 1990, 30,000 Iraqi troops have invaded Kuwait and are in a
position to influence nearly half of the world's oil supply. The United
Nations condemn the aggression but it is clear that only military
intervention is going to displace Saddam Hussein. Captain Joseph
'Quarry' Samuels and the Marines of Scout Platoon, 2nd Battalion, 2nd
Marine Division are tasked with discovering the strength and deployment
of Iraqi troops. Quarry and his scouts are soon engaged in a game of cat
and mouse with the 10,000-strong 108th Iraqi Armored Division. Operating
behind enemy lines, they put themselves squarely in danger's way in
order to collect the intelligence necessary to launch military
operations. When hostilities end, with the greatest one-sided military
victory of all time, the Marines deserve to be on their way home.
However, Quarry remains in Kuwait to continue the deadly game with an
old nemesis, but this time with a new ally on his side.
