Fire Mission

by Robert Marshall

August 2, 1990: Saddam Hussein ordered his military to invade their neighboring country Kuwait and take control of its rich oil fields. Mercilessly, the invading soldiers quickly overtook the small country and claimed it in the name of Iraq. The United States was quick to respond to the cries for help from around the world and began the rapid deployment of hundreds of thousands of American soldiers to the desert of Saudi Arabia and prepared to liberate Kuwait. Lance Corporal Robert Marshall was one of those soldiers. As a young Marine Corps artillery scout, Lance Corporal Marshall was eager to take his military expertise to the front lines. Read as he describes the true story of dealing with extreme temperatures, weather, and hostile environment while he and his fellow Marines continued to work through training missions that would prepare them for the inevitable battle.
