File: 111396_aacvu_10.txtlist of lessons learned was compiled. This list dealt mainly with the mobility aspects of the deployment. We replaced the old water-proof bag with backpacks for carrying a set of chemical warfare gear for immediate access. This proved to be a real advantage on later deployments. We changed the basic makeup of the personal bag and put together a comprehensive list of items specifically for Desert Shield. COMMODITIES DIRECTORATE (LI) Since the inception of Desert Shield/Desert Storm, the Commodities Directorate has surged 21,084 items and expended 114,153 hours of overtime. The items surged included aircraft pnuedraulics, electrical accessories and avionics components. MISCELLANEOUS LOGISTICS SUPPORT Our Air Freight terminal consolidated many shipments for other local bases such as the Sacramento Army Depot, the Defense Depot at Tracy, and the Sharpe Army Depot. Our shops repaired and or manufactured over 20,000 items; most of any of the five Air Force depots. We shipped over 10,000 short tons of cargo on 846 LOGAIR, ANG, MAC and Coast Guard aircraft. To put this in perspective, this was an approximate increase of 507 flights over our normal workload. The Coast Guard unit at MCClellan with four McClellan based C-130 aircraft helped the Aerial Port at Travis AFB. They transported over 500 passengers (l24 from McClellan and 376 from Travis) and in excess of 900 short tons of cargo. We deployed 313 McClellan AFB personnel in sup- port of Operation Desert Shield/Storm. These individuals possessed skills in a wide range of functional disciplines such as Aircraft Maintenance, Aircraft Engineers, Aircraft Pilots, Intelligence, Security Police, Pararescue, Communications, Transpor-- tation, Supply, Disaster Preparedness, Personnel, Medical, Chaplains Assistant, and other various skills. AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT The Time Phased Force Deployment Data Listings (TPFDDLs) provided to activities differed somewhat in format from that which had been utilized during past exercises. Some personnel required assistance interpreting the data since they were unfamiliar with the format being used. As additional personnel attend the War Planners Course, | they will gain the skills required to read these listings without undue difficulty.
