Most available information from that time period focuses on the US contribution and action during the conflict. I am wondering what, if any, the rest of the nations made. I'm interested in knowing exactly how many troops, supplies, financial aid or any other kind of aid was given by each of the coalition nations.
Follow up question: For those nations who had combat personnel in the Persian Gulf (once again, aside from the US), how many of those saw combat and/or took part in operations inside Kuwait?
This map should help illustrate the various nation's contributions to Desert Storm, as well as show how they fit into the overall strategy.
But just to highlight two important contributions, first the Arab forces on the Coalition's right flank, and especially the Saudi Arabian forces, were the target of the most intense pressure from the Iraqis before the launch of Desert Storm. In particular, the Battle of Khafji was fought primarily by Saudi Arabian ground forces, on Saudi soil, and delt a major blow to the Iraqi Army. Their forces absorbed a major blow, prevented the Iraqis from pushing further south, and held the spotlight while the major coalition offensive in the west got organized. Then, during the offensive period, those same forces turned north and led the drive into Kuwait proper, through the thickest part of Saddam's defensive line.
In the west, the British forces also contributed to the ground campaign. The British 1st Armored was right in the middle of the Coalition's flanking attack, and destroyed hundreds of Iraqi vehicles. Their forces were engaged in some heavy fighting, and they committed almost 60,000 men to the operation.
This is, of course, all in addition to the myriad contributions each partner made to the air war. Almost every nation flew hundreds of sorties, engaged and destroyed key Iraqi emplacements, and prepared the way for the ground attack. Dozens of Allied planes were shot down during those operations, and many pilots lost their lives.
