Soldiers with the Minnesota National Guard’s 34th Red

Soldiers with the Minnesota National Guard’s 34th Red Bull Infantry Division visit the Al-Qurain Martyrs Museum in Kuwait City Feb. 20, 2019, surveying the damage inflicted on a house by heavy weaponry, including an Iraqi tank, during a battle in the Gulf War that occurred Feb. 24, 1991, between members of the Al Messilah Group (Kuwait forces) and Saddam Hussein’s forces. The Soldiers partnered with their Kuwaiti hosts to learn about the history of the invasion of Kuwait and the national and international response that liberated the nation. The Soldiers, currently deployed to the region as Task Force Spartan, also visited a nearby military base where Kuwaiti soldiers walked through the broader picture of the conflict on an immense sand-table of the country.
