           1. (U) J-ULLS NUMBER: 50878-66621 (00003), submitted by 1-5 ADA,

           3. (U) KEYWORDS: AIR DEFENSE ALERT, AIR RAID SIREN, ALERT
           PROCEDURES, .

           4. (U) TITLE: LOCAL AIR WARNING ALARMS

           S. (U) OBSERVATION: Local air warning alarms are not available.
           6. (U) DISCUSSION: The command posts improvised air raid
           sirens. It was done with @ipment provided by the PSYOPS unit
           (speakers, tape of a siren, etc.) or with equipment locally
           purchased. Most of these improvised systems did not have the
           range to cover the entire site. The locally purchased, multiple
           sound sirens proved to be the best solution although range was
           still very limited. They have separate sounds to alert for air
           attack, ground attack, chemical attack. The soldiers were
           trained to recognize and react to these.

           7. (U) LESSON LEARNED: Sirens must be made available, must have
           a range of at least one mile, and must have recognizable sounds.

           S. (U) RECOMMENDED ACTION: Research, test, and purchase sirens
           for use by command posts throughout the division.
