  ABOVE with Lt. Col. Dempsey at left: at 3AD's 3rd Brigade Base in Kuwait in early April, 1991. From left: Lt. Col. Martin E. Dempsey (Bde. Exec. Officer), Col. Leroy R. Goff III (Bde. Commander), and Sgt. Maj. Chris K. Prince (Bde. Sgt. Maj.) are shown at a time when the Brigade was involved in security and humanitarian operations on the Kuwait-Iraq border over a month after the end of Operation Desert Storm and combat.



  Dempsey is pointed out by arrow as the 3rd Bde Tactical Operations Team gathered for this group photo outside their camouflaged TOC tent. This was inside Iraq in early March, 1991, about three days after end of combat.

  Dempsey is at right in this group of three soldiers as they inspect an area of a Kuwait City beach that had been largely cleared of Iraqi mines and barbed wire. Iraq had expected a coalition invasion from the sea. The other two soldiers are Col. Jawarri of the Kuwaiti Army and Col. Goff (3rd Bde Commander).
