          3. EXECUTION.

               a. Commander's Intent. Support to Operation Desert Shield is
          USAREUR's priority mission. As such, it is our number one
          priority and all other tasks must wait until deployment of
          USAREUR forces have been completed. This operation will be a
          high paced deployment, timeliness of movements will be critical
          to success. Our greatest impact will be providing efficient
          throughput at the seaports. I want to emphasis placed at
          supporting port operations. I can not over stress my concern for
          safety in all aspects of this operation. Look to our Host
          Nations for any assistance that they can provide. We rely on
          their help and they stand ready to support us. Consider Host
          Nation impact in everything that we do. Treat them as partners       in
          this endeavor. Ensure that our deploying soldiers are properly
          prepared,            and informed. Make proper arrangements for
          their family f-.e,.Prers, property, and other responsibilities that
          they will leave t:ei,-,d.

               b. Concept o; Operation.

                     (1) Ger,.er-=kl. @@lst TAACOM deploys 4 company size
          elements consisting of two MP Companies and two transportation
          companies in three phases (Preparation, Movement, and Loading).
          Additionally, assists Ist II) (M) in draw of POMCUS and onward
          movement to SWA,; :)perate DACG at Ramstein Air Base; operate SPOEs
          at Rotterdam, Art,@ierp, Bremerhaven and barge site at Mannheim.

                    (2) Phasing.

                          (a)  Phase 1, Preparation. This phase consists of
          preparation of the deploying units, and METL training required
          to ensure mission accomplishment in the AOR. This phase also
          provides the supporting units the opportunity to plan and prepare
          for support operations at the POEs and enroute locations. The
          phase ends for 21st TAACOM when the last deploying unit finishes
          loading at home station.

                          (b) Phase 2, Movement to SPOES. This phase
          encompasses the movement of all equipment and supplies to the
          designated SPOES. Primary means of movement of all vehicles to
          the SPOEs will be by rail or barge. In some instances, wheeled
          vehicles will ,nove to the c-POEs by convoy. Helicopters will self
