The Saudi Liberation Medal for Kuwait was instituted by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to recognise the service of coalition forces during the liberation of Kuwait in the Gulf War of 1990–1991. Awarded to military personnel from allied nations, it honours their contribution to Operation Desert Storm and the restoration of Kuwait’s sovereignty following the Iraqi invasion.
Awarded to members of coalition armed forces who served in the designated area of operations between 17 January 1991 and 28 February 1991, the period covering the combat phase of the liberation. Recipients had to meet national eligibility requirements and be formally approved for the award by their home government.
The circular bronze medal features the emblem of Saudi Arabia — a palm tree above two crossed swords — with an inscription in Arabic. The reverse shows a map of Kuwait, surrounded by a laurel wreath, with the dates of the liberation campaign.
The ribbon comprises vertical stripes of green, white, black, and red — the Pan-Arab colours — with a narrow gold stripe at each edge. The colours represent Arab unity and the shared effort of coalition nations.
