       1.  (U) Julls number, i            submitted by llth ADA BDE S2,
       Cpt. Weiner, (915)568-1370.

       2.  (U) Operation Desert Shield 90, Aug 90.

       3.  (U) Keywords: BDE S2, Deployment Phase.

       4.  (U) Title: Transport of Classified Material during Deployment.

       5.  (U) Observation: Classified material was not transported IAW
       380-5 and the BDE Intell SOP.

       6. (U) Discussion:

           a. (U) Classified material need for initial operation Desert
       Shield 90 was hastily transported from Ft. Bliss to the Area of
       Operation. The extremely short notification of deployment was the
       main contributor to this situation. Despite the hasty transport
       of classified, no insecurities were noted.

           b. (U) The transport of classified was not properly
       inventoried in the proper forms and personnel carrying classified
       material did not sign the required briefing outlining the
       procedures and safeguard reminders.

           C. (U) Staff elements did not inventory and code their
       respective files for evacuation and destruction/stay behind files.
       The lack of this action added to the chaos of the short
       notification for deployment.

       7. (U) Lesson Learned. Regardless of time constraints, the
       safeguard of classified can not be an unnecessary risk.
       Procedures are established in regulations and SOPs and must be
       followed.

       8. (U) Recommended Actions:

           a. (U) Staff elements/sections prepare an evacuation plan of
       their classified material. Exercise Roving Sands and Bde level
       FTX'S.

           b. (U) Staff sections should have a listing of all their
       classified material i.e. similar to a library reference list.

           C. (U) Follow the procedures on transport of classified
       material in AR 380-5 and the BDE Intel SOP.
