During the Gulf War, the Army used DU for both defensive and offensive purposes. According to DoD's Final Report to Congress, Conduct of the Persian Gulf War, 594 of the 1,772 M1A1-series tanks used by the Army in the Gulf were heavy armor Abrams variants.[221] DU armor on these heavy armor tanks provided their crews with added protection. During Operation Desert Storm, Iraqi fire did not penetrate any DU armor.[222]
