              Daily SITREP 7th Engineer Brigade

              231800C MAR 91

              TO: VII Corps 0-3 (OPS)

              1. Daily Commander SITREP:

                  a. Situation: Engineers are now focusing on MSR maintenance
              and destruction of Iraqi equipment and supplies. We are planning
              for movement back to RAAS. 7th Engineer Brigade has operated
              equipment in theater on an extensive basis since the first week
              in December 1990. There has been no let-up, operations continue.

              Have directed specific maintenance actions in preparation for
              redeployment. Expect OR rate to initially fall significantly.
              It will Improve over time. Brigade Is currently maintaining over
              1000 km of MSRs in Corps sector. Assumption ol XVIII Airborne
              Corps sector will stress assets but feel we can accomplish
              mission. Combat engineer battalions continue demolition mission,
              combat heavy maintain MSRS. Divisions should utilize organic
              engineer assets for work in their sector. We are concerned about
              lack of Corps level logistical support forward of Log Base
              Nellingen. Possibility of movement into the XVIII Airborne Corps
              sector necessitates the need for Corps level logistical support
              (Class I. III and IX) forward in the Corps sector.

                  e. Combat Support Equipment Readiness         as %
              Lack of Class IX repair parts is adversely    affecting the OR rate.

              The M113 fleet is at 78%. The fleet OR will decrease as the
              mechanized engineers are heavily involved in Task Force Demo.
              Running gear, track, road wheels and shock absorbers are a
              special problem. Coordination with COSCOM (ASCIAAT 20 Map 01)
              shows no availability throughout the supply system.
