       TAB A Phase I mobilization To 73d Medical Detachment DS/DS AAR



       I. Mobilization.

          A. Personnel: Despite being at 117% fill prior to
       deployment, the 73d deployed at 83% strength, due to the non-
       availability of 2 veterinary food inspectors. Attempts to have
       at least I additional food inspector assigned to the unit in
       order to deploy at 100% failed, based on mission capability at
       83%. The unit's NCOIC position was filled by a Staff Sergeant
       attached to the unit from Madigan Army Medical Center. In all,
       the 73d deployed with 1 Veterinary Corps officer, 1 Animal Care
       Specialist, and 3 Veterinary Food Inspectors.
           B. Operations: The unit had maintained 100% training in all
       essential common tasks, however, these were reviewed, emphasizing
       NBC and emergency medical training. Physical training was
       increased, and included road marches in MOPP gear to acclimate
       personnel to its possible use. Two loadouts were performed prior
       to the actual deployment to ensure unit proficiency. Two Poms
       ensured that unit members' personnel records, immunizations,
       medical records, and dental records were up to date. Personnel
       were urged to have wills and pow6rs of attorney drawn up prior to
       departure. Vehicles and generators received technical
       inspections and the identified required repairs. MOS training in
       operational ration inspection was conducted.

           C. Logistics: MTOE equipment shortages that had been
       previously identified were now given ordering priority. Clothing
       and personal supplies were obtained through local purchase.
       Desert canoflage uniforms and overgarments were ordered. CTA
       authorized equipment was ordered. class 8 supplies not available
       through Army logistics channels were ordered by local purchase.
       Showdown inspections of CIF issue and initial issue equipment
ity and accountability. The
       one month waiting period before deployment allowed time for most
       necessary items to arrive prior to departure. The only
       exceptions were desert camoflage netting and a refractometer,
       neither of which were mission essential.
