  • The Battle of Ad-Dawrah was a naval engagement fought on the night of 18 January and into 19 January in 1991 during the Gulf War. In the battle, Coalition forces captured an Iraqi offshore oil field forty miles from the Kuwaiti shore. The 29 Iraqi servicemen captured were the first prisoners of the conflict. It was also the first surface engagement after the Coalition intervened in the Gulf War.

    It’s not very well known, but Coast Guard Port Security Units and TACLETS took over security on some of these oil rigs after NSW cleared them. This was the beginning of Coast Guard Deployable Operations Group (later renamed DSF). This is also where the only Coast Guard KIA of the war occurred. DC3 Nate Bruckenthal was killed in a VBIED attack offshore of Kawhr Al Amaya Oil Terminal
