Following Operation Desert Storm, Kuwait's territory was divided into seven regions, and the seven members of the multinational force, including the United States, France, Egypt, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Turkey, were each made responsible for battlefield cleanup in a region. This operation was called Operation Desert Clean Sweep. The Conventional Munitions Systems company (CMS) was in charge of the 3126 square kilometer region for which the United States was responsible, which included a 146 square kilometer mine field. Its main missions were to determine the positions of duds and move them away, to recover discarded tanks and trucks, and to demolish bunkers. According to estimates, there were 1.25 million unexploded bombs in this area and 500,000 mines of sixteen different types. CMS used the satellite navigation global positioning system (GPS) in this cleanup project to position objects to be cleaned up. CMS 5 method was to have cleanup personnel go on foot or by small truck to carry out on-the-spot surface investigations, use GPS receivers for positioning after finding target objects, and input relevant information into a computer. This information included the positions of target objects, their type, their quantity, which group found them, and other data and information.
