              a.   Si tltat i Ol) Engineers are now 'fOCLtSil)g on 111SR maintenance
          and destruction of Iraqi equipment and Supplies. We are planning
          for movement back -to RAAS. 7th Engineer Brigade has operated
          equipment in theater or, an extensive basis since the first wee@@
          in December 199E$. There has been no let-LkP, operations continue.

          Have directed specific maintenance actions in preparation'+or
          redeployment. Expect OR rate to initially +All significantly.
          It will improve over time. Brigade is currently maintaining over
          1500 km of MSRs in Corps sector. Assumption of XVIII Airborne
          Corps sector has stressed assets but +eel we are accomplishing
          mission. Combat engineer battalions continue demolition m:issioi-),
          combat.heavy maintain MSRS. Divisions should utilize organic
          engineer assets for work in their sector. We are concerned about
          lack of Corps level I(-)gisticA! support forward of I-ocj Base
          Nellii,igen. Movement into 'the XVIII Airborne Corps sector
          necessitates the need +or Corps level logistical -support (Class
          1, III and IX) forward in the Corps sector.

 VII Corps Policy
          +or return cD+ captured enerriv equipment is confusing. What can we
          bring back as far as weapons,               irid vehicles tc) LISAREUR?
          XVIII Airborne Corps reports cor-,4@-.scat3.nris of weapons at port
          (DAMIIIAM) due to @)IVIC requirements and ARCE@',4T' poiicy. Do we need
          unit-speci+ic (-)RCENT @pproval in order to avoid confiscation when
