How Did The Grumman A-6 Intruder Serve In US Combat Missions?

I first became familiar with the Grumman A-6 Intruder as a teenager, via two sources concurrently: (1) the real-life Persian Gulf War AKA Operation Desert Storm, which kicked off on January 17, 1991; and (2) the fictitious motion picture “Flight of the Intruder” — starring Danny Glover, Willem Dafoe, and the late Brad Johnson (not to be confused with the NFL quarterback who led the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to victory in Super Bowl XXXVII — which by sheer coincidence was released the day after Desert Storm commenced.
