          used gunships last night. Col Reavy related that if they didn't
          interfere with our work area they were autonomous. Col Reavey
          told Col Doman about SA problem. He said I haven't heard squat.
          The Army hasn't come to me all night with a problem. They (army)
          didn't even know they had a problem earlier in AE6.
          
          Virtually everybody agreed that AE6 was hub of activity and
          that it was important that at first light A-10s be called in-for
          a load of shit.
          
                           0620 Lt Col Woods said just as night fell, we had A1
          Jubayle surrounded. Basically we're in control of Jabayle.
          Their pretty well dug in, but this morning we'll take care of
          that. Army noted that F-16s helped last night. Overall, Col
          Doman called the evening's focus outstanding and said we
          shouldn't complain. Col Woods noted only one incident with tank
          resistance thus far.
          
          As he left for the night, Col Reavy said that we all worked
          so hard, and we think we did well but we haven't heard anything.
          Col Doman commented that if they (US/allied ground forces) were
          hurting, they would have been in touch with you one way or
          another. [O(5)]

          Also some behind US lines. Ground forces generally have swept
          through areas so fast that they haven't had an opportunity to
          clear everything. Ground forces would come back areas bypassed
          previously as time permitted. There could still be radar
