       1. Todav's hiehliahts are recon of 28th CSII's   tedivat, lielidad and
       recoil of Yesterdays burn site.

       2. CPT Todd (IINS) and ISG Whitmore (lif4S) went to KFRC  hospital
       complex to identify if the medivac hi.-Iii)ad (VK 020110) 3L the 28tli
       CSli was built (this Pro'iect was not ar.,proved by ITS nr COL Kalif;
       ARCENT Eneinepi,s and 28th CSII received permission from  the
       civilian administal-or of the hospital. not tiirour)i military
       channels). The medivac lielidad is built (roui:hlv 30 meters by 30
       meters). alone witit an access road to the 28tit area and the main
       road to the KFIIC hospital (an open V-shaped road about 100 meters
       per lee). This is clear uo possible confusion with the orovosed
       44 helicopter lielinad requested by 44tli Medical Brieade (see
       vesterday's Daily Report).

       3. CPT Todd and ISG Whitmore recontied the site (VI( 050060) uliere
       the burninl, (thick billowine black clouds of smoke) took Place
       yesterday. The site is a fo'rmei, Quarry now used as a earbage dumo
       (garbage in middle east countries is normally dumped out in tlil-
       desert or in a depression, lilze a quarry. and burned).
       Comsiderable Diles of 2arbaee were present. more I)avitie been the
       for a period of time (cans heavily rusted). The recent burned
       pile (one still smoking and one still burning) contained mostly
       cans (food type. very few soda cans) and bottles (like small soda
       bottle:;). Also. a large pile of burned fiberglass (from air
       conditioning duct insulation) with small pieces partially burnt.
       was present (this could have caused the black clouds of smoke).
       Further back in to the earba2e dump was a Pile of gai-baee not yet
       burnt (this appeared to be contractor garbage due    to booklets  on
dders. emvtv oil cans with SAE 40; as opposed to SAE 15W40 in
       US; and lack of candy wrappers, empty water bottles. or U.S. type
       i)aper earbaee,,tvde written oaper. newsoapers. or maeazines).
       Also, U.S. trucks use an unoffical (like at Draeon iase)
       enLrance/exit (less than 100 meters from the burn site) from the
       expressway enroute to the Quarry ASP (the burn site is riebt
       across the expressway from the burn site). If the presence of
       U.S. vehicles nearby is the reason for saying the U.S. burned
       e,irbaee there. this is probably incorrect. Actual observation
       would have been required (difficult from the road due to the
       quarry beine somewhat lower in elevation than the road. and the
       billowing oi the tmoke (CPT Todd view the buriiinp, yesterday at
       rouL,Iilv 0830 local; blueisli white smoke,. and at 1100 local,.
       biliowine black smoke).
