2. DECISION BRIEF: Wartime Communications (SC). TFW/CC approved the following as a result of the
briefing:

a. Giant Voice:

(1) The purchase of this system is postponed in order to fund
higher priority projects. CLOSED.

(2) As a result of the discussion about the need for a Giant Voice, the Working Group
was tasked to develop an ALL CLEAR siren signal to alert the base populace quickly. This will
require coordination with the HN as they have adopted our alarm signal system. OPEN, OPR: ABOWG,
ECD: 27 NOV.

b. Core Automated Maintenance System (CAMS)/ Standard Base Supply System (SBSS) computers:
$20K to fund cable purchase. CLOSED.

c. WOC/SRC: Cost for the cable ($50-$80K) should be shared between the US and HN to include
purchase of a switchboard. TFW/CC will discuss this matter with the HN. OPEN, ECD: 27 NOV.

d. Based on the discussion about choke points, a plan to address
requirements for redundancy and improve survivability must be developed.
OPEN, OPR: SC, ECD: 27 NOV.

3. INFO BRIEF: Chemical Warfare Defense Equipment Update (AO). The results of the base wide
inventory were positive. All personnel have the required personal protection equipment. RM has
ensured that the 10 percent oversupply is ordered. CSG has reported these shortages to CENTAF
through the ABO Sitrep. Regarding antidote distribution, AO advised that DCS reps will be working
with SG to receive the antidotes. Units are responsible for storing and distributing antidotes.
Antidote distribution to personnel will occur only at the direction of the TFW/CC. SG added that
none of the backordered antidotes had arrived. A new antidote called Kana will replace the
atropine. There's no delivery information to the bases available yet. CLOSED.

4. REVIEW OF ACTION ITEMS:

*a. Alarm/MOPP/Threatcon Information Boards: Workorder is going to CSG/CC for prioritization and
action by DE this week. HN approval is required as the HN has adopted our alarm system and the
boards will reflect the conditions in both English and Arabic. OPEN, OPR: AO
