One month after Admiral Kelso took office, Iraq invaded Kuwait.  The world community demanded immediate withdrawal.  A coalition of nations began a military build-up in the region and instituted a sea blockade and no-fly zone.  When these measures did not induce a withdrawal, the coalition attacked, forcing the invaders out and chasing them into southern Iraq.
