                              2. B4uipment Issues. 7 EN BDE still needs additional 916
              tractor assets to haul heavy equipment. German equipment issue only
              replaces 5 of 23 short. RPV Airfield. Le-%son learned from this operation
              is that the RPV is a resource eater. It needs its own rurrway material or
              a dif ferertt niode of launch/recovery. Airfield ipattuig, that must be moved
              every 2-3 days is just riot the answer. Explosive sniffing dogs (AR=
              WG= Report #171) understand that minefield or individual mine locating
              is not primary mission for explosive sniff ing dogs. However, we have no
              reliable way of locating modern plastic mines. The explosive sniffing dog
              option is one that may be worth pursuing for future use. Replacement
              platoons arriving without equipment (NI13s, 5 Tbns, crew-served weapons).
              Diff icalt 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 cmbat
              losses.   Dust Palliative Transport. VII Corps supports ARCE\IT effort to
              procure trucks  for use in transporting and spreading palliatives. Leased
              trucks with GI drivers will help alleviate the backlog.

              176 EN GRP is establishing LOGBASE NELLINGM to include the road net and
              MSR Blue. 109 EN (MP has responsibility for the Corps rear to include
              maintenance of MSRs and construction of additional; MSR Lanes. MSR Green
              0owlete to IOGBASE NE1124GEN. MSR Blue to PU5210. Tomorrow it will go to
              PT'8500.  MSR Burgundy to PEJ0510.
