Editing Kuwait Armed Forces (section)

=== Official enacting of the Land Force of the Kuwait Armed Forces (1988) ===

In 1988, the [[Kuwait Army|Kuwait Land Force]] was officially designated as the land component of the Kuwait Armed Forces. The Kuwait Armed Forces were removed from their alert phase with the ending of the Iran-Iraq War. The eight-year fourth alert phase was the longest in the Armed Forces' history. With the ending of the Iran-Iraq War, the Kuwait Army adopted the [[BMP-2]] infantry combat vehicle.

In 1989, the Kuwait Armed Forces signed on the delivery of [[F/A-18 Hornet]]s and launched the opening of the new Kuwaiti Military Hospital.
