            3. (U) KEYWORDS: TOPOGRAPHIC, TERRAIN, INTELLIGENCE,

            4. (U) TITLE: TOPOGRAPHIC SUPPLIES

            5. (U) OBSERVATION: Topographic supplies were not available for
            the support of the terrain team attached to the division.

            6. (U) DISCUSSION: The supply system was cumbersome and slow.
            When attempts were made to purchase the necessary materials
            (Diazo film and paper, drafting pens) from the local economy,
            the process again proved to be slow and cumbersome. The terrain
            team provides the majority of the support for reproduction of
            products produced by the various staff sections and the terrain
            team for the NSC and separate battalion elements. Sufficient
            funds are not available to ad @ ately support the divisional
            units.

            7. (U) LESSON LEARNED: In response to the logistical problems,
            the terrain team would have to order supplies in bulk to ensure
            enough supplies are available. The problem with this solution
            is one of storage abailability.

            S. (U) RECOMMENDED ACTION: 30th Engineer Battalion
            (Topographic) should be the point of contact for supplies for
            the terrain teams attached to the divisions.

            9. (TJ) COMMENTS: The supply system is inad@ate in supporting
            unique requirements.
