            CURRENTLY THAT MAY TAKE UNTIL THE END OF MAY. HOWEVER, THERE WILL BE

            NO NEED TO CONTINUE TO HANG ON TO ALL THE @FORMERI AMEDD RC PERSONNELI

            AND WE WILL COPE WITH THE PHYSICALS, ETC., OF THE RETURNING RC UNITS

            AS THOSE PEOPLE APPEAR. WE HAVE A GAME PLAN. WE ANTICIPATE AROUND

            12,000 SUCH RETURNEES.

            A FURTHER COMPLICATION IS THE CONTINUING NEED TO PROVIDE AIRHEAD AND

            DOCKSIDE SUPPORT.


            IN THEIR HASTE TO RETURN TO CONUSI SOME SOLDIERS MAY WELL BOARD


            AIRCRAFT IN SWA DESPITE FEELING UNDER THE WEATHER AT THE TIME.


            ACCORDINGLY WE PROVIDE MINIMAL BUT ADEQUATE COVERAGE AT THE NOSE DOCK

            FOR EACH AIRPLANE.


            CURRENTLY ONLY ONE OF 14 SCHEDULED SHIPS HAS COMPLETED UNLOADING THE


            24TH ID EQUIPMENT AT PORT OF SAVANNAH. WE PROVIDE COVERAGE AT DOCK-


            SIDE, AS WITHOUT IT THEIR WOULD BE NOTHING, AND IN THAT MILIEU


            INDUSTRIAL TYPE ACCIDENTS ARE LIKELY.


            THOSE FACTORS AND THE UNCERTAINTIES INVOLVED MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO

            SUMMARILY DISMISS ALL ASSETS AT THIS TIME. ALL WILL BE REPORTED EXCESS


            AS THE SITUATION UNFURLS. IT IS MY FEELING THAT ALL MAY BE SO REPORTED


            BY THE END OF THE FIRST WEEK IN MAY.


            A TWX OF LAST WEEK MANDATED THE APPLICATION OF PPD TO THE RETURNING
