At least half of 59 KC-10As were directly assigned to Operation Desert Storm with the remainder conducting numerous resupply sorties beween the USA and the Gulf.
Info about camouflages: airframes up to 84-0185 were delivered in SAC camo, all of the rest in Shamu camo. Some were repainted into Shamu camouflage before the Gulf war.
In late 1990s all airframes were repainted into AMC Grey color.
