0258 Gen Glosson asked Marine Lt Col John Woods about when
and how coalition forces will arrive in Kuwait. Answer -
Coalition will arrive in trucks to Kuwait City. That's how
they'll liberate it. Basically marines will transport coalition
forces there so allies can liberate. Marines will cover
coalition's rear. Col Woods added that they probably won't be in
Kuwait City tomorrow but certainly the day after. Gen Glosson
said that's 24-hours ahead of schedule to which the marine
colonel answered affirmative.

Army BCE unfounded rumors include reports by army scouts
that about finding dead camels and sheep due to anthrax
introduced bio warfare. Also, despite marines encountering chem
mines on-the-march, that hasn't slowed them down. They just went

BCE told of Iraqi's communicating to superiors in Baghdad
that they'd fired chems and HE against us but they actually
hadn't. Perhaps they upchanneled false information to protect
themselves from punitive action until they could find a way to
become EPWs. BCE also told of EPW camps named Brooklyn and Bronx
housed EPWs from the 45th and 48th ID.

0356 Maj Thompson reported to Gen Olsen that last night his
scud crews thought they saw Iragi's trying to rebuild some fixed
