Thanks for the correction!

Yes, it was a team effort catalyzed by James Jay Baker’s diplomacy and coalition, you’re 100% right, of course.

When you write that you were “there”, what do you mean exactly? No boots in the sand, right?

According to Wikipedia:

Although Australia's contribution was primarily naval, a small contingent of Australian service personnel were seconded to British and United States ground troops.[1] However, the government's position was not to deploy ground troops with "no boots in the sand".[citation needed]The Royal Australian Air Force deployed a unit of photo interpreters who were based in Saudi Arabia.[1] Four medical teams were also deployed.[1] At the end of Desert Storm, 75 ADF personnel were deployed to Northern Iraq to assist in the provision of humanitarian aid to the Kurds living in the UN-declared exclusion zone.[1]
