           DESCRIPTION: The NBC RECON vehicle, the Fox, tp country is having
           problems with its mass spectrometer. A KKMC maintenance team has
           to be notified for assistance. The maintenance team was a
           consistent problem throughout the war. They were hard to find,
           hard to manage, and lastly hard to control. This may be due in
           part to the fact that these are civilian contracted technicians.
