Kuwaiti Army is the primary land force of the Military of Kuwait.
Considerably damaged in the Persian Gulf War, it has since rebounded, with the force being estimated at 50,000 strong. Kuwait's postwar equipment orders include 200 M-84 tanks (from Yugoslavia to offset previous Yugoslav oil purchases) and eighteen self-propelled 155mm guns from France. Kuwait also has received United States, Russian, and Egyptian armored vehicles. [1]
