I am talking about Desert Storm, 1991. The guy said he complied with the order to bury the stuff. I’m just looking for a confirmation of his story.

What kind of stuff are we talking about?

I remember that a lot of heavy equipment (tanks, etc) was put into storage in Kuwait in case we needed to go back.

But it wouldn’t surprise me if lesser equipment, damaged or obsolescent vehicles (like the M60A3 tanks that the Marines showed up with then traded out for M1s from Army prepositioned stocks) were buried.

Lots of equipment was pre-position in many middle east countries before Desert Storm, I know because I got there in Aug 90 and there was a lot of stuff already on the ground that was not shipped in a such a short time.
