I think no, because I think that Marine Corps would replaced the HAWK Missile sooner than 2002 if there was a viable threat on the horizon.

Also I'm currently working on the UK/NL Landing Force (Royal Marines and Korps Mariniers unit), I will post for all interested parties.
Depends on how close you want to stick to canon. The US entered the war in 1995 so it would be really doubtful that the IHAWK would be phased out, I would expect a series of fixes/mods to make it more effective, at least until Patriot was available in larger numbers.
