1.     GENERAL COMMENTS:  A SITE SURVEY WAS CONDUCTED ON 23 DECEMBER 1990 AT DUBAI INT'L AIRPORT, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES (UAE).  CURRENT BEDDOWN PLANS CALL FOR FOUR KC-135E TANKER AIRCRAFT TO BE DEPLOYED TO THIS LOCATION ON OR ABOUT 28 DECEMBER 1990.  SIX ADDITIONAL AIRCRAFT ARE EXPECTED TO ARRIVE AROUND 6 TO 8 JANUARY 1991.  AN ADDITIONAL SIX AIRCRAFT (FOR A TOTAL OF 16 KC-135E) WILL DEPLOY TO THIS AIRFIELD PRIOR TO 15 JANUARY 1991.  THIS AIRFIELD IS MUCH LARGER THAN ABU DHABI'S AND CAN ACCOMMODATE TWELVE KC-135E TANKERS ON THE NEWLY CONSTRUCTED "AIR CARGO" RAMP.  THE CONTRACTOR (STILL WORKING THE NEW RAMP AND CARGO WAREHOUSE) WILL MOVE THE TEMPORARY FENCE ALONG THE FLIGHT LINE SO OUR AIRCRAFT WILL HAVE ACCESS TO THIS RAMP.  BILLETING IS AVAILABLE FOR UP TO 400 PERSONNEL
AND INITIALLY A POPULATION OF 300 IS EXPECTED.  THE INITIAL GROUP MAY BE BILLETED AT AL MINHAD AIR BASE IF THE EXISTING TENT CITY CAN BE EXPANDED [(b)(1) Sec 3.4 (b)(5)]
