                           B) ENGr4EER ISSUES:

                               1. Engineer Mnitions. NICIXC. Need AMCOCt4 to apprme and
               institutionalize the f ixes. other units should not have to continue
               experimentation.
                               2. EtiLiipment Issues. 7 EN BDE still needs additional 916
               tractor assets to hail heavy equipment. German equipment issue only
               replaces 5 of 23 short. RPV Airfield. Lesson learned from this operation
               is that the luzv is a resource eater. It needs its own runway material or
               a different mode of launch/recovery. Airfield matting, that must be moved
               every 2-3 days is just not the answer. Explosive sniffing dogs, this
               option for detecting explosives should be explored for use in urban
               areas. Current mute detecting devices are ineffective and inefficient on
               modern plastic mines. Replacement platoons arriving without equipment
               (NI13s, 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 ecluipyent, (dozers, scrapers,
               etc) suggest factor frckn doctrinal publications (FMs) and buy or lease
               ccomercial replacements for canbat losses.    Dust Palliative Transport
               still needs method of spreading palliative. Need to maintain MSRs is
               critical now as before.

                           C)  PRIORITY OF WORK: Not reported

                           D)  PRIORITY OF EFFORT: Not reported

                           E)  TOPOGRAPHIC SUPPORT: Not reported

                           F)  PROPOSED OPERAMOM:

                               1. Engineers assigned to 2ACR, 1AD and 3AD are supporting
               unit mobility and providing division supply routes. 3AD has completed
               construction of Corps MSR B=Au)dy to Objective Collins. 176 EN GRP is
               establishing LOG3ASE NMIMEN to include the road net and MSR Blue. 109
               EN GRP has responsibility for the Oc)rps rear to include maintenance of
               MgRs. 926 EN GRP Chopped back to BDE Control. Will be consolidated vic
               Ob]ectlve Dorset. Due to lack of haul assets (only 50% of tractors auth)
               will take time to consolidate. Follow-on mission to maintain routes
               behind divisions. msR Green complete to LOG BASE NELLnqGEN only. msR
               Blue to IPSA vic Pr85OO. MSR Burgundy to PU447190 and is cmplete.
                               2. Engineer will be prepared to support the defense and
               restoration of Kuwait and redeployment of forces. See a Continued need
               for groups and combat heavies for a period of time to do scan specific
               tasks. Examples include: repair and maintenance of Ali Alsaleiu Airfield,
               support to units in Kuwaiti Defense, maintenance of MsRs as we redeploy
               XVIII A13N Corps and remove friendly and enmy equipment in Iraq, and
               construction to support living areas/training areas in VII Corps Staging
               Areas. Exact tasks, duration of need for groups and heavy units will be
               identified through a detailed planning process.
