    Narrative: This is a consolidated End of Trip/After Actions report for
    the closure of operations for Air Force EOD participating in the restor-
    ation of Kuwait. The first thing that needs to be addressed is the sup-
    port needs that are required for an operation of this magnitudes, An in-
    dependant duty-qualified medic must accompany EOD at each operating loc-
    ation. We had difficulty obtaining medic support from the Army. The
    nearest medical aid station was five miles away (15 minutes by road), and
    we had to depend on the Army to provide medics on an " as available
    basis." The deployment of two mechanics with the EOD unit proved
    essential. Both of our mechanics worked solid ten hour days, repairing
    tires and servicing vehicles. Most of their work took place after we re-

  





    turned each day. They were able to keep on top of even minor discrepanc-
    ies ( burnt out lights, broken seat belts ) and kept our vehicle fleet
    100% available for use. We strongly recommend at least two mechanics per
    operating location. We experienced limited usefulness of our SMUD cap-
    ability due to an inability to control entry of looting Egyptian Army
    personnel and the close proximity of Egyptign camps to the base perimeter
    We needed to communicate with aircraft or warn them to clear the area, due
    to being overflown at least twenty times a day, many times at very low
    altitudes and speeds. We recommend at least one guard channel radio per
    operating location, Overall,our needs were met, but much of this was due
    to our troops ability to " Wheel and Deal." The total amount of area
    cleared on Ali Al Salem came to 20 square kilometers of area, 200 bunkers
    65 buildings, 20 hardened aircraft shelters, and 35 kilometers of taxi-
    ways without mishap or equipment damage.
