                             JULLS LONG REPORT


          1. (U) JULLS NUMBER: 51327-85095 (00001), submitted by 307 ENB
          (WABGAA)s SFC Ortiz, 239-7880, (919)432-7680.

          2. (U) Operation DESERT SHIELD/STORM conducted by CENTCOM on
          05/14/91.


          3. (U) KEYWORDS:

          4. (U) TITLE: Shortages of Decontamination Equipment

          5. (U) OBSERVATION: The current authorization of
          decontamination equipment in the engineer battalion is
          insufficient to sustain the -Force.


          6. (U) DISCUSSION: After all the    division task forces'
          engineer requirements were completed it was noted the amount of
          equipment on hand was too large to conduct decontamination
          operations with internal assets to include divisional'assets.
          The division chemical company does  not have enough assets to
          conduct decontamination operations  for the separates units. The
          chemical company is only authorized 3 x smoke/decontamination
          platoons, (I x maneuver brigade). Additionally the battalion is
          not authorized M17 Sanators like the infantry battalions.

          7. (U) LESSON LEARNED: As an interim action the battalion
          made a plan to use the 2 x 613B Water Distributors (1,500 water
          capacity) assigned to the 618th Engr Co to conduct limited
          decontamination operations.

          S. (U) RECOMMENDED ACTION: Modified the 307th Engr Bn and
          618th Engr Co (LE) MTOE to have I x M17 Lightweight
          Decontamination Apparatus (LDS). Additionallyrequest addition
          of two 54B skill level one soldiers (I x HHC/307 EN and 618 EN
          Co) to operate the M17 LDS. This equipment and personnel will
          greatly enhance the ability of the engineer battalion to conduct
          hasty decontamination operations.

          9. (U) COMMENTS: Request consideration of one M17 LDS with
         operator for all battalions in the division. This addition will
          assist the chemical company and divisional battalions to
          conduct decontamination operations and other support missions
          when needed.
