Each set was designed to depict a phase in the 1990-91 Gulf War of Iraq. These sets were produced by various companies, but the most popular one in the market is produced by Topps. Apparently, they were produced to educate children about the Persian Gulf War and about the veterans and the weapons used in the war.
