The ladies' kit in the picture is badly anachronistic, from the plate carriers to their rifles and everything mounted on them. A lot of it either didn't exist in 1991 or came into service long afterwards. I don't know if it qualifies for the anachronism tag, I'm really only pointing this out because I like the Aesthetics™ of that time and I feel offended by this picture.

I agreed. This art work is nice. But some gears like gun is wrong. such as they should use M16A2 instead M16A4 with RIS handguard and Trjicon ACOG.(Those should show in IRAQ WAR). And their VEST is wrong too, it looks like MOLLE System(Like LBT-6094) plate carrier vest. The only correct for the Gulf War timeline is Thier Camo and Alice backpack. But I feel okey with this art , didn't feel so offended. But It turly didn't OLD-SCHOOL. I will try to sent some my suggestion to artist in Pixiv. Hope he will keep make some good works to us.
I really like the picture. But yes, aside from the camo pattern and alice pack, none of that existed 1991. Still even didn't exist a decade later during the 2004 invasion of Iraq.
