        remained to support the non-deployed subordinate units.

                  1). The initial S-2 personnel deployed consisted of the
        S-2 OIC, NCO Intel Analyst, and an enlisted Intel Analyst. This
        element established the initial intelligence support with XVIII
        Airborne Corps, G-2 and ARCENT, G-2 in Saudi Arabia. The intel
        support was in the form of hard copy intelligence summaries
        (INTSUM's) produced every twelve hours. The INTSUM's covered the
        current enemy situation in the areas of ground, air, TBM,
        chemical, ADA, Terrorism, Vulnerabilities, obstacles, and
        Assessnent/Courses of action. The Corps also provided weather
        support information on the area of operation and obstacle overlays
        from the Engineers. In addition, the commander's PIR's were
        coordinated with the Corps Collection Manager. Other intel
        support was provided by CENTAF through their INTSUM's and special
        reports. The overall intel support from higher headquarters was
        accomplished.

                  2). This intel gathered at BDE was disseminated to the
        deployed S-2s. The rear detachment S-2 cell produced and
        disseminated INTSUM's based on intelligence gathered from XVIII
        Airborne Corps, ARCENT, and DIA. In addition, this element
        supported the rear detachment garrison activities. (See rear
        detachment AAR for details).

              e. A shortfall during the deployment phase was the lack of
        transportation available to travel to the various communications
        centers to pick up the INTSUM's and other intel reports.

              f. Security procedures for the Bde TOC were also part of
        this phase. The procedures established included a 24-hour TOC
        guard. The access to the TOC was granted to personnel with a need
        to know and the proper security clearance. Procedures were access
        rosters maintained by S-2 personnel and the TOC guard, and
        issuance of TOC pictured badge by the S-2. Personnel who were not
        issued permanent TOC badges were temporarily provided a visitors
        badge.

              g. The S-2 section matured and able to maintain a 24 hour
        intelligence operation with remaining personnel deployed latter
        part of August.

        2. SUPPORT OF ADA OPERATIONS = DESERT SIIIELD/ DESERT STORM.

              a. The XVIII Airborne Corps G-2, Counterintelligence (CI)
        division supported the BDE by conducting high value target
        assessments to the deployed units. The target assessments were
        based on the terrorist threat to the theater. The assessments
        evaluated and provided recommendations for improvements in site
        physical security.

                b. The S-2 established a courier system to handle all the
        classified material from the Bde, Corps, ARCENT Supoom, and the
        CRC. The courier run was conducted twice a day (morning and
