                (3) Joint and Combined Training. MSC were reminded to
        look for joint and combined training opportunities with the
        Saudis and sister services. In particular, the Saudi Ministry of
        Interior requested hasty decontamination training. In return +or
       .this training they will coordinate US use of local fire
        protection systems. Reconnaissance and decon training
        opportunities exist with MARCENT and should be pursued by 24th
        In+ Div (Mech), 3d ACR, and 2d Chem Bn. The need to integrate
        training under NBC conditions in future CALFEX was emphasized.
        Wear of chemical protective ensembles during live fire exercises
        supports unit METL.

                (4) Lessons Learned. Units were asked to submit lessons
        learned which can immediately benefit the Chemical Corps and
        Army. Copies of unit NBC JULLS were also requested.

            g. Saudi Arabia National Guard. MAJ Buchanan, Chemical
        School representative supporting OPM SANG, briefed on the status
        of CDE fielding to SANG units and the status of SANG training.

        4. Issues and Discussion.


        Issue. What are the procedures for disposing of old CDE items;
        specifically, DS2 and lithium batteries in Saudi Arabia? (24th
        In+ Div (Mech), lst Cav).

        Discussion. This issue was raised early on to ARCENT. EUCOM has
        been identified to provide an in-country DRMO to support this
        mission. CONUS-based rules for packaging and disposing of
        hazardous material apply in Saudi Arabia.

        Issue. Shortage of M12AI parts, MSAI, BDO, and NAPP (24th Inf
        Div (Mech), 101st Abn Div (AASLT), 3d ACR, XVIII Abn Corps Arty).

        Discussion.


            - Current MTOE don't reflect actual unit requirements for
        MBAL. Each MSC should scrub MTOE for Plus LTPS. (LTC Schubert)
