                  (3) (@ Class III (package). Some impact as Class IX
         shortages. Received minimal levels of Class III packages but not
         even sufficient amounts to keep up with daily usage. (G4)

                  (4)      Medical. Class VIII supplies now adequate.
         However, Division is short three orthopedic surgeons in two
         HASHS. Must have more surgical support prior to commencement of
         G-Day operations. (Gl)

                  (5)      M43 Protective masks. Division received 22
         masks 2 FEB. Division could operate safely and employ weapon
         systems effectively with one each M43 per Apache (back seat pilot
         only). Request assistance in obtaining the 14 additional M43
         masks ASAP. (G4, Corps Chem)

             C.        1ID(M). Tier draw of class V continues to go
         slowly. 34 DODICS remain to be filled. Critical ammunition is
         .50 caliber and 25mm ammunition. 800 MMC is aware of our
         requirements, which we report daily via LOGSTAR. with the closure
         of Log Base Alpha on 9 FEB 91, we will be forced to deploy to the
         FAA with less than TIER II. (G4)

             D. (U) 1CD.

                  (1)  @ MLRS employed by the division require the
         installation of ablative panels. MLRS will be unable to
         continuous support without this MWO. (G4)

                  (2)      The TPS-25 destroyed by HARM missile must be
         replaced. 1CD has provided a chronological narrative of the
         incident to Corps Main G3 Ops. (G4)

                  (3)      The division has an LNO with the Egyptian 70th
         AR BN vic Ruqi. The Egyptians still have not provided an LNO.
         lst Cav Div is concerned with gaps on our eastern flank. The NAC
         defense at Ruqi is set, however, the nearest Egyptian MBA
  (G3)

                  (4)      Record communications with Corps is
         unsatisfactory. E-Mail is a time consuming and unreliable method
         of record communications due to poor carrier signal. circuit
         down-time severely hinders E-Mail accessibility for long periods.
         Poor quality lines (noise from interface) breaks computer
         communication. Recommend new frequencies be issued to ensure
         clearer carrier signal. Also recommend increase use of UGC-144
         communications Terminal network to back up the E-Mail. (G6)

                  (5) (8) Ammunition is becoming more critical as G-Day
         draws closer. Critical ammunition below projected requirements
