             DESTRUCTION AND ASSISTING TACTICAL INTELLIGENCE UNITS IN

             EVACUATION OF SELECT ENEMY EQUIPMENT. MAJOR CHALLENGE WILL   BE

             CONTINUED DESTRUCTION OF THEATER AMMO DEPOT SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 8

             AND DESTRUCTION OF SILKWORM MISSILES AND WARHEADS ON 28 MAR

                  C.(e   CORPS CONTINUES TO RECEIVE REPORTS OF IRAQI MILITARY
             UNITS COMMITTING ATROCITIES AGAINST LOCAL POPULATION IN THE LOWER

             EUPHRATES REGION. THE SAFETY AND WELL BEING OF IRAQIS IN THE

             U.S. SECTOR ONCE VII CORPS LEAVES IS OF MAJOR CONCERN. BELIEVE

             WE SHOULD USE EVERY CHANNEL AVAILABLE TO ENCOURAGE INTERNATIONAL

             AGENCIES AND ICRC OR EVEN POSSIBLY THE UN TO ASSIST IN THE

             TRANSITION FROM U.S. OCCUPATION TO IRAQI GOVERNMENT CONTROL.

             CONTINUE TO BELIEVE OUR BEST COURSE FOR THE NEAR TERM WOULD BE TO

             ESTABLISH CIVIL MILITARY GOVERNMENT COMPLETE WITH ORDINANCES AND

             PENAL CODES. WE HAVE TWO MASH AND TWO MILITARY CLEARING

             COMPANIES FORWARD TREATING ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY IRAQI CIVILIANS.

             EXPECT     ER OF CIVILIANS TO BE TREATED WILL INCREASE,

             PARTICULARLY IF INTENSITY OF IRAQI OPERATIONS REMAINS HIGH.
