         are:
                                         ON HAND           REQUIRED
                   120mm APFSDS-T         21,372             27,840

                   HELLFIRE                1,203              2,304
                   TOW                     5,130              6,570
                   MICLIC                     44                 57
         HELLFIRE missiles   are no longer available in theater according to
         the G4. HELLFIRE    missiles will play an important role in AVN BDE
         future operations. Ammunition items must be delivered to 452d
         Ord ASP in TAA WENDY to ensure rapid availability to units. (G4)

                   (6) (2t Currently, the division is at 71% zero balance
         on ASL due to infrequent replenishment in the past three months.
         PLLs are in worse shape. Ninety percent of all receipts have
         been released for NMC-S, not for stockage. In major assemblies,
         1CD currently has 99 of 202 GS reparables at zero balance. The
         AVN BDE's readiness rate has also been adversely affected by
         inadequate supply of class IX repair parts, particularly AIMI and
         AH-64 LRU RX items. The attachment to VII Corps has disrupted
         the fragile repair parts flow and will require intensive
         management to insure past requisitions are forwarded to the
         Division. Key assembly shortages are listed in the LOGSTAT
         report and have been reported individually to VII Corps. (G4)

                   (7)        One additional medium truck company and one
         additional POL truck company are needed for the Division to
 rates. The
         pull system of resupply (not doctrine) which has been in use
         since arrival in country has severely taxed the unit's aged
         vehicle fleet. The additional transportation units are needed
         because the Division has neither the trucks nor the drivers to
         support 1CD's operational requirements. (G4)

                   (8) (@     Request replacement of M50 series 5 ton, M800
         series 5 ton, and M35 series 2 1/2 ton trucks. The age of the
         fleet, particularly the M52 tractors, severely impacts readiness
         of the force. Division currently has 162 M52 tractors, 27 M818
         tractors, 39 M54 cargo trucks, 94 M313 cargo trucks, and 809 M35
         cargo trucks. (G4)

                   (9)         ivision is critically short on batteries.
         Specifically automotive (1964), BA-30, BA-5588, BA-5598, BA-5567,
         BA-4386, AND  BA-3517. See LOGSTAT for document numbers and
         specifics. (G4)
