   WERE FOUND ON SIDE BUT WERE ROTTEN AND SERVED NO REAL PURPOSE.

   DEBRIEFER'S COMMENTS:
         THE AH-64s SUPPORTING THE MISSIONS NEED TO BACK OFF OF THE OBJECTIVE.
   COMMUNICATIONS WITHIN THE ELEMENT IS NEAR IMPOSSIBLE WITH THE HELICOPTERS
   SO CLOSE.
   SUGGESTION:
         PROVIDE COVER FOR THE UH-60s IN THE LAUGER SITE. THERE IS COMMO
   AVAILABLE FROM THE PLATOON TO THE APACHES IF THEY ARE NEEDED.
