OPERATION DESERT SHIELD 
SUBJECT: REDISTRIBUTION OF CHEMICAL PROTECTIVE GEAR ASSETS 
1. 	THERE HAVE BEEN CRITICAL SHQRTFALLS IDENTIFIED IN BOTH 
THE AIRCREW AND GROUNDCREW CHEM GEAR ENSEMBLES. THE PRIMARY ITEMS 
ARE HOODS MASKS, AND FILTERS. 
2. 	WR-ALC AND SA-ALC HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN GETTING 
MANUFACTURER CONTRACTS ON SOME ITEMS ACCELERATED BY SEVERAL MONTHS 
TO MEET EMERGENCY LEVEL REQUIREMENTS. 
3. 	IN THE INTERIM, REQUEST MAJCOMS CONTINUE TO SUPPORT AN 
�ACROSS THE BOARD" REDISTRIBUTION POLICY FOR CHEM GEAR ASSETS TO 
ENSURE DEPLOYED (IN-THEATER) AND DEPLOYING UNITS RECEIVE THEIR 
COMPLETE COMPLEMENT OF CHEM GEAR FOR OPTIMUM PROTECTION AND 
SUSTAINABILITY IN SUPPORT OF DESERT SHIELD OPERATIONS 
4. 	ALTHOUGH SUCH REDISTRIBUTION ACTIONS WILL WREAK HAVOC ON 
KEEPING INVENTORY FIGURES STABLE -- THE BOTTOM LINE IS PROTECTING 
OUR PEOPLE IN THEATER BACKFILLS TO UNITS WHICH RDO ASSETS WILL 
OCCUR ONCE IMMEDIATE REQUIREMENTS FOR DESERT SHIELD HAVE BEEN 
SATISFIED. 
5.	 (U) MANY THANKS TO THOSE COMMANDS WHICH HAVE ALREADY BEEN 
SUPPORTING THIS POLICY. POC IS [(b)(2)] AF/CSS/LRC/LEYS,
