Operation Bishop (Spanish: Operativo Alfil) was the Argentine addition to the coalition forces from around 42 nations led by the United States in the Gulf War against Iraq in response to Iraq's invasion and annexation of Kuwait. The operation was composed of four warships and two helicopters.[1][2]
The Operation resulted in Argentina gaining the designation as a major non-NATO ally by President Bill Clinton in 1998.[3]
