                orientation received the full support of all of the commanders
                throughout the brigade.
                      ci:s:re:@g:nd,@INBC sectiDIL-visited each battery site, where they
                gave        5     raqi NBC capabilities, NBC site survivability,
                conventional and non-conventional decontamination procedures and
                also focused  an the treatment of chemical casualties. It also ran
                an abbreviated version of the NBC certification course in order to
                familiarize officers and NCO'S, who were filling critical NBC
                slots with their responsibilities. These classes were instrumental
                in standardizing N13C operations across the brigade.
                      Much time was spent by the brigade NBC section coordinating
                decontamination and detection requirements with ally and joint
                services. Detection shortfalls at the Dhahran Airbase were
                overcome by sharing assets with the Royal Air+orce and the lst
                Tactical Fighter Wing. At King Khalid Military City the brigade
                shared detection and decontamination requirements with the
                Air-force Disaster Preparedeness Group.
                      On 14th January the brigade chemical officer visited with
                Major Ordman, 80.3rd Medical Group, to discuss the ARCENT anthrax
                immunization program. Initially, he was unwilling to allocate
                vaccines to the brigade. He eventually agreed to dispatch 2 mobile
                team% to HRB lith ADA Bde and 2-52 ADA. The subsequent
                distribution of other NBC prophylaxis by ARCENT was as
                disorganized as is the initial anthrax distribution.

                      d. Warfighting Phase- The llth.ADA Brigade entered Desert
                Storm fully trained and                                    in an Nksu
                VMVITreWffght. The overall NBC preparedness of the coalition forces
                may have bean the key factor in detering the use of chemical by
                the enemy forces.
