      (U) :3. PHAS;R 11 - 15 FEB 91 to 23 FEB 91
             TF 2-16 Location: Forward Assembly Area, 2 lm south of
                  Iraq-Saudi line

      (U)a. Disposition and Composition: No major changes were noted in
        the original assessment. The U/I ID was reassessed as the 4B ID,
        known to be a light infantry division.
      (U)@. Strengtht Allied airstrikes in the 4B fD area continued the
        destruction of enemy artillery and armor assets. Major air,
        artillery, and MLRS strike concentrations against the enemy front
        line destroyed troops, support equipment and headquarters
        elements. A 200500 FEB 91 intelligence summary placed
        "collective strength of the 25, 31, and 48 ID at 55% based on
        tanks and main artillery tube counts only."
      (U)C. Significant Activities- Limited, nighttime, mounted
        reconnaissance was conducted by the enemy during Fftse II. No
        engineer work was detected in our sector, nor did the Iraqis.
        place any artillery fires on the task force. Division assets
        detected limited vehicle movements behind enemy lines during
        nighttime, and these activities were assessed to be related to
        resupply.
      (u)". Probable Course of Action* The enemy would continue to defend
        in sector, preparing -For th@ Allied ground assault. Limited
        defections during nighttime would continue - and desertion to the
        north would continue to decrease enemy combat troop strength. The
        enemy was'no longer thought to have the ability to launch major
        armored spoiling attacks.
