            released to duty. Bunker located QUO53072.

                C.   Reference confirmed chemical casualty.   Later in the day
            3AD chemical personnel changed their report of agents detected on
            the casualty's clothing and kevlar vest. They now report the Nomex
            suit as having a weak reading of Lewisite - no CX. And, they now
            say the flak vest had a strong reading of HQ (Sesqui Mustard and
            Sulfur Mustard.)

                d. Fox vehicle belonging to 69th Chem Co was damaged when it
            rolled over a landmine on I Mar. The torque suspension was bent
            and 2 wheels flattened.

                e. NBC - 4 Report submitted by 3AD:
                     Alpha - S13001
                     Hotel - Blister, Traces of HD and liT
                     Quebec - QUO50072
                     Sierra - 030915L
                     LTC Adams, CHEMO, 3AD stated they did a chemical recon
            over a 7 by 10 kilometer area. Blister traces were only found in
            what looked to be a command bunker at QUO50072.

                f.   Message from CENTCOM CINC stated that the Iraqis claim
            there were no chen/bio weapons in Kuwait. CINC did not want us to
            make a big deal out of one soldier suffering chemical agent burns.
            Don't deny the report to the press.

            4 MAR 91:

                a. Corps FRAGO included instructions on how to enter bunkers to
            check for chemical munitions.     That is, enter in MOPP-2 (with
