          SUBJECT: 4-27 FA Situation Report: 11 FEB - 17 FEB

                d.-te" Class V. RSR is set at 60 rockets/launcher/day. There
          appears to be inadequate transportation in the Corps to push pods
          forward. FSB will carry 108 pods forward, but LogPacks are light.
          Some progress is being made on transportation. The battalion
          assumed the risk of 4 pods on a HEMAT. So far, no problems although
          the torsion bar on a HEMAT broke on the move.


                e. (U) Class VI. No change.

                f. (U) Class VII. No change.

                g. (U) Class VIII. No change.

                h. -K+ Class IX. We have worked ourselves solidly into the
          Division Support Command and the lead Brigade FSB. We are also tied
          into LTF 87, our Peden support unit. It is apparent to the
          battalion that the area support concept, particularly for peculiar
          unit, will not work.

          5. Highlights of the week:

                a. (U) 11 Feb 1991: A steak dinner was served tonight. It was
          very good. An M88 engine was picked up today. The move order to FAA
          Garcia was issued to the battalion. A botulism vaccine is being
          issued to soldiers in 2ACR. This is an experimental vaccine and will
          be taken voluntarily. Chpl Zeller is beginning weekly bible studies.
          DivArty CPX will begin 12 Feb at 1000 hrs.
                b."*t@ 12 Feb 1991: Preparation for move to FAA Garcia began
          today. Common use tents and cammo nets were taken down. Sleep tents
          were left up. This will be a one latrine one shower move. Magazines
          are not to be inserted and there will be no more phone runs.

                c. (U) 13 Feb 1991: Ganuno Globulin vaccine was picked up
          today. We were unable to pick up the botulism vaccine. The
          quartering party has been placed on stand by. They will go to
          DivArty on order. The battalion was given a warning order to prepare
          to move tomorrow. MG Griffeth has some issues to be discussed with
          the soldiers:

                       1. Civilian property in Iraq is off limits. Any soldier
          caught looting will be court martialed.

                       2. Iraqi soldiers and civilians personnel property is
          off limits.


                       3. Do not take war trophies. Most weapons are boobie
          trapped.
