             NOTE:
                 Received additional guidance from VII Corps on increasing security in
             anticipation   of possible terrorist type activity. Guidance and
             instructions   passed to subordinate units.                         I

                 Commander briefed as events occur if located in BTOC, if not in BTOC
             briefed upon his arrival. S-3 also briefed to ensure ICC gets necessary
             information passed to them +or appropriate unit alert status changes.

                 Due to poor log reporting the source of a number of SCUD alerts is not
             known, as the operation continued the logs improved somewhat, definitely a
             lesson learned. Majority of SCUD alerts and all clear messages were
             received through the ICC, and passed from Ilth ADA Bde.

                 Enemy Battle Damage Assessment (BDA) was received daily and plotted on
             an overlay to better understand and physically see where the majority
             and/or priorities for destruction were located. Both in-flight and
             confirmed reports were received.
