The [[United States Department of Defense|US Department of Defense]] reports that US forces suffered 148 battle-related deaths (35 to friendly fire{{sfnp|Tucker|2010|p=470}}), with [[Scott Speicher|one pilot]] listed as [[Missing in action|MIA]] (his remains were found and identified in August 2009). A further 145 Americans died in non-combat accidents.<ref name=cnn /> The UK suffered 47 deaths (nine to friendly fire, all by US forces), France nine,<ref name=cnn /> and the other countries, not including Kuwait, suffered 37 deaths (18 Saudis, one Egyptian, six UAE and three Qataris).<ref name=cnn>{{Cite news |url=http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2001/gulf.war/facts/gulfwar/ |title=In-Depth Specials – Gulf War |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070510125644/http://edition.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2001/gulf.war/facts/gulfwar/ |archive-date=2007-05-10 |year=2001 |work=CNN}}</ref> At least 605 Kuwaiti soldiers were still missing 10 years after their capture.<ref>{{cite journal|first=Nicholas|last=Blanford |url=http://www.csmonitor.com/2002/1223/p07s01-wome.html |title=Kuwait hopes for answers on its Gulf War POWs |journal=Christian Science Monitor |year=2001}}</ref>

The largest single loss of life among coalition forces happened on 25 February 1991, when an Iraqi [[Al Hussein (missile)|Al Hussein missile]] hit a US military barrack in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, killing 28 [[United States Army Reserve|US Army Reservists]] from [[Pennsylvania]]. In all, 190 coalition troops were killed by Iraqi fire during the war, 113 of whom were American, out of 358 coalition deaths. Another 44 soldiers were killed and 57 wounded by friendly fire. 145 soldiers died of exploding munitions or non-combat accidents.{{sfnp|Tucker|2010|p=264}}

The largest accident among coalition forces happened on 21 March 1991, when a Royal Saudi Air Force C-130H crashed in heavy smoke on approach to Ras Al-Mishab Airport, Saudi Arabia. 92 Senegalese soldiers and six Saudi crew members were killed.<ref name="92-senegalese-soldiers-die" />

The number of coalition wounded in combat was 776, including 458 Americans.<ref>{{cite encyclopedia|title=Persian Gulf War{{snd}}MSN Encarta |url=http://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_761551555_2/Arabian_Gulf_War.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091021004902/http://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_761551555_2/Persian_Gulf_War.html |archive-date=21 October 2009 }}</ref>

190 coalition troops were killed by Iraqi combatants, the rest of the 379 coalition deaths were from friendly fire or accidents. This number was much lower than expected. Among the American combat dead were four female soldiers.<ref>{{cite web|title=The Cost of Women in Combat|url=https://abcnews.go.com/International/story?id=79646&page=1|access-date=2021-03-25|website=ABC News|language=en}}</ref>

====Friendly fire====
While the death toll among coalition forces engaging Iraqi combatants was very low, a substantial number of deaths were caused by accidental attacks from other Allied units. Of the 148 US troops who died in battle, 24% were killed by friendly fire, a total of 35 service personnel.{{sfnp|Tucker|2010|p=207}} A further 11 died in detonations of coalition munitions. Nine British military personnel were killed in a friendly fire incident when a USAF [[Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II|A-10 Thunderbolt II]] destroyed a group of two Warrior IFVs.{{Citation needed|date=February 2023}}
