              I JU)S@ttgf5 !:ei9) SUMMARY: IRAQI MILITARY ACTIVITY WAS LIGHT ON
              10 APR IN THE VII CORPS' AREA OF INTEREST. GOVERNMENT FORCES IN

              SOUTHEASTERN IRAQI CONTINUE TO RESPOND TO SHIITE FLARE-UPS AS
              THEY OCCUR, ALTHOUGH INSURGENTS ARE CONDUCTING ONLY SPORADIC HIT-

              AND-RUN RAIDS. GOVERNMENT FORCES THROUGHOUT IRAQ ARE CONTINUING

              RECONSTITUTION ACTIVITY AND ARE LARGELY CONFINED TO IN-GARRISON
              TRAINING, EXCEPT IN KURDISTAN, WHERE GOVERNMENT FORCES CONTINUE
              TO PURSUE KURDISH REBELS. HELICOPTER ACTIVITY OVER IRAQI RESUMED


              ON 10 APR WITH AT LEAST THREE FLIGHTS REPORTED.


                            MOP) GROUND ACTIVITY:


                   A. (U) SOUTHERN IRAQ:
                        (1) (UqW-ftL@ ON 9 APR, A IST ID(M) APACHE
              HELICOPTER OBSERVED A POSSIBLE AMMUNITION STORAGE SITE AT PV3905,

              CONSISTING OF 27 INTACT BUILDINGS, SUSPECTED OF CONTAINING 37MM,

              57MM, 122MM, TANK, SMALL ARMS, AND MORTAR AMMUNITION.
                        (2)(L+Wft-mof4 A CIVILIAN PROCESSED BY 3 AD REPORTED

              SEEING 20 CHIEFTAIN TANKS, 15 PONTOON BOATS, AND A U/I NUMBER OF

              SOLDIERS AT QU684485 ON 101330L APR. VII CORPS COMMENT:
              IDENTIFICATION OF CIIIEFTAIN TANKS AT THE ABOVE LOCATION IS
              PROBABLY ERRONEOUS. THE ONLY CHIEFTAIN TANKS OBSERVED TO DATE
              HAVE BEEN AT TAJI BARRACKS NEAR BAGHDAD AND PROBABLY WERE
              ORGANIZING FOR DUTY IN-KURDISTAN. THE LARGE NUMBER OF
              OPERATIONAL TANKS KNOWN TO BE IN THE BASRAH AREA PROBABLY WOULD
              PRECLUDE THE NEED FOR ADDITIONAL TANKS TO BE SENT TO SOUTHEASTERN


              IRAQ.
