                         A) CUFDZEW OPERATIONS: VII Corps Engineer continue to support
             offensive operations. Effort is concentrated in mobility for maneuver
             units and maintenance and construction of critical MSPs and routes.
             Residual effort will be used to provide survivability for critical
             cmmunications and Air Defense Units. Task organization has been changed
             to meet evolving situation.

                         B) ENGBIEER ISSUES:

                             1. Engineer Mnitions. MICTIC. Need MCOCM to approve and
             institutionalize the f ixes. other units should riot have to continue
             experimentation.
                             2. Equiptnent Issues. 7 EN BDE still needs additional 916
             tractcr assets to haul heavy equipment. German equi-pnmt issue only
             replaces 5 of 23 short. RPV Airfield. Lesson learned from this operation
             is that the RPV is a resource eater. It needs its own runway material or
             a different =:)de of launch/recovery. Airfield ratting, that mist be moved
             every 2-3 days is just not the answer. Explosive sniffing dogs (ARCENT
             IDGSMT Report #171) understand that minefield or individual mine locating
             is riot primary mission for explosive sniffing dogs. However, we have no
             reliable way of locating nxxlexn plastic mines. The explosive sniffing dog
             option is one that may be worth pursuing for future use. Replacement
             platoons arriving without equipment (Mil3s, 5 Tons, crew"served weapons).
             Difficult to integrate and still maintain unit integrity. Need to get
             M113s for these units.   Need theater reserve for low density engineer
             equipment, (dozers, scrapers, etc) suggest factor from doctrinal
             publications (FMs) and buy or lease commercial replacements for combat
             losses. Dust Palliative storage. appreciate ARCERr's offer of a 210K
             gallon bladder located at LOGBASE BRAVO for storage of palliative. If
             ARCENT can move this Gonzo Bladder to LOGBASE ECHO, we would be glad to
             use it. Dust Palliative Transport. VII Corps supports ARCENT effort to
             procure trucks  for use in transporting and spreading palliatives. Leased
             trucks with GI  drivers will help alleviate the backlog.

                         C) PRIOPXIY OF WORK: Not reported

                         D) PRIORITY OF EFFORT: Not reported

                         E) TOPOGRAPHIC SUPPORT: Not reported

                         F) PROPOSED OPERATIONS: Engineers assigned to 2ACR, 1AD and
             3AD are supporting unit mobility and providing division supply routes.
             3AD has the additional task of oonstructuq Corps MSR Burgandy. 176 EN
             GRP is improving the lanes through the breach and establishing LOGBASE
             NELIM4GEN forward of the breach, to include the road net. 109 EN MT has
             responsibility for the Corps rear to include maintenance of MSRs and
             construction of additional; MSR lanes. MSR Green complete to IDGEASE
             NMM4GEN. MSR Blue to intersection of Blue and Purple. MSR DuVarxiy to
             PT7878.
