                        PHASE I -- RECEIPT OF ORDER/PLAMING
                   a@(dU)(U) Para 2A(l) Problem/Issues: Recluirement to POM
                Forwa  Based Units for Contingency operations.

                Response/Corrective Action Taken: IAW AR 600-8-101, Personnel
                Processing (In-and out-and Mobilization Processing), ensuring
                soldier readiness is an annual requirement. Chapters 4 and 5 of
                this regulation outline specific administrative processing
                requirements (i.e. checklist).

                In light of Operation Desert Shield, Questions began to surface
                in mid-August regarding administrative personnel requirements,
                procedures and responsibilities for preparing solider/units for
                deployment - indicating an unfamiliarity with the annual
       w        requirement and details on responsibilities and procedures at
       z        the community level to support this requirement. A series of
       9        messages (16142OZ Aug 90, 26145OZ Sep 90 and 09120OZ Oct 90)
       w
                from this HQ has been sent to UMC, SMC and communities reference
                the Soldier Readiness Processing Program, lessons learned from
                the deployment of USAREUR soldiers and units in support of
                Desert Shield, and planning factors which may be used to
                facilitate required annual or as directed POR (preparation for
                oversea 'movement) processing.

                         Para 2A(2) Problem/Issue: Not all vaccines required
                f  deployment readily available.

                Response/Corrective Action: There was a problem with one
                vaccine, menigiccocal, being in short supply during initial unit
                deployments. All vaccines were intensively managed by 7th
                MEDCO,4 ACSLOG and USAMMCE, and there were no soldiers who
    required a vaccine who failed to receive it. Additional stocks
                have been moved into USAMMCE from CONUS as they have become
                available. A key point is that commanders must consolidate
                their immunization requirements in order to achieve maximum
                utilization of each vial of vaccine. Once spread and mixed for
                use, many vaccines must be used within a certain time period, or
                they are no good; therefore, the maximum number of soldiers must
                be available when the vaccine is prepared.

                C. (U) Para 2A(3) Problem/Issue: Potential for Deployment of
                Pregnant Soldiers

                Response/Corrective Action Taken: Deployment criteria outlined
                in Table 3-1, AR 614-30 and in Para 4-4b(l), AR 600-8-101 states
                that pregnant soldiers will n'ot deploy. A pregnancy screen is a
                soldier readiness processing requirement conducted at the
                medical station. Pregnancy kits will be made available at the
                processing site to detect pregnancy for any female soldier who
                is in doubt whether or not she is pregnant. However, the kit
                results are reliable only if the female is at least into her
                sixth week of pregnancy. If, after deployment a soldier is
                determined to be pregnant, she will be redeployed from SWA to
                home station.
