We were the 2nd wave, bumped up to just a few hours after 1st wave. Our track convoy with m110a3 was about 45 MPH. We drove non stop for 28 hours, help secure 101st first jump spot behind enemy lines. Did 3 or 4 hours of work to keep m110 going. By the 2nd day we were past As Salman airport. With France 6th Light Division clearing the tanks out as we pass by them. By the 3rd day the Sarin Gas was so thick, you could barly see your hand, we got the orders back to turn towards Kuwait. So we went from the left side, all the way to Kuwait. Then back to left side, just to come back again. We ended up going through Highway of Death 3 times.
We stayed on the move, 0-5 day camp spots, mostly less then 2 days. For over 3 months.
Here is a picture of me in one of the many fox holes I dug each time we stopped:

I am the one on right with a unloaded m60, with only one leg on the bypod down. And a tank of Iraqi Blood agent in background to the left.
