- See also changes related to Gulf War, or pages that link to Gulf War or to this page or whose text contains "Gulf War".
In this section, "Operation", "Plan", etc. are not part of the alphabetization. This is an experiment with using the R-template with annotation. The sort order is by code word, not aircraft type, etc. U.S. convention is to use ALL CAPS for code words; the British and French use initial caps only.
