Narrative: The following items were moved from the airfield to the SHA:
800 ea 14.5mm

The following items were destroyed on the airfield:
90 ea BELUGA submunitions
50 ea MK118 submunitions
4 ea 14.5mm rds
20 ea assorted small arms

This concludes clearance operations for Kuwait International Airport. To
the best of our knowledge, all munitions on the airfield have been re-
covered. However, with the amounts of munitions that were found on the
airbase it is probable that additional items will be recovered as people
start to inhabit the airbase again. It must be noted that this was a
surface clearance only. No attempt was-made to perform a subsurface
clearance of the airfield. However, we did fully investigate all holes of
entry and recovered subsurface ordnance as we encountered it.
PROBLEM AREAS: No significant problems were encountered during this
clearance. Minor problems did occur with spare tires for the hummers. As
with any clearance where fray is present several spares for each vehicle
is a must. Also a source of compressed air was a problem. We obtained
used hummer tires from the Army and changed them out ourselves but the air
was a continual problem. Units should ensure that 2 1/2 ton trucks used
for the clearance come with the air hose and air chuck to fill tires.
OTHER COMMENTS: All personnel who participated directly or indirectly in
helping to make this clearance a total success are to be congratulated.
A listing of all ordnance encountered on the airfield is at attachment 1.
