			Subject: Changes regarding members of the armed 
forces

	Per the memo of the army staff 1651, on 7/1/1990, reported  
in the letter of the administration and quarters 4921 on 8/5/1990, 
and reported to us in the  memo of the 18th division 5624, on 
8/29/1990. The Army chief of staff has agreed to the 4th provision 
of the quarters' letter no. 24418 above on 7/8/1990, that includes 
the following:
a. 	To identify the party responsible for ticket reservation, and 
sending out  the soldiers in the Basra area as long as the 
southern area is open for transportation. The post is the 
party responsible for sending out  personnel provided that it 
coordinate with the corpses and the navy.
b. 	cancel the low that would allow use of seats and cabinets (on 
trains) by the military except in the Basra Area.
c. 	The party asking for reservation should show proper 
identification, so that lows and regulations are not broken.
d. 	Military people should be asked to show up at the station 
half an hour early to the reservations section to get their 
tickets.
e. 	The proposal of trains has been rejected, which means going 
back to reservation regulations that were in effect before 
the war which call for equating the military with the 
civilian population. It should be considered however that the 
military enjoys a higher number of reservations than the 
civilians.

Please take necessary action, and act accordingly.

	Subject/ Complaint
My name is Captain (mil. eng.) Amer Kamil Mydan.  I was infected 
with a skin disease called Herpes which is widely spread for a 
long time.  So I visited the El Rashid Military Hospital where I 
was treated by ultra violet radiation according to time table and 
treatment course.  A long time has passed without going to the 
hospital.  I went back to Al Rashid Military Hospital during my 
vacation to receive the same treatment but the doctor at the 
dermatology department refused to give me the treatment without a 
letter and medical permit from my unit.  Sir, the disease 
increased constantly on my body and appears in areas where it did 
not exist in the past.  Therefore please accept my request for a 
medical permit to receive the treatment.  

	Leaving the whole issue in your hands, sir:

			To/ Battalion S1,
			Subject: Preparation for the winter season

According to the letter from the Third Corps command, number 12063 
dated October 10, 1990 which was communicated to us by a letter 
from the 18th Division number 6083 dated October 13, 1990.  
1.  	Receive the winter supply long enough before the season to 
distribute it.  It 
is important, 
however, to keep a 
percentage of it as 
a reserve.  2.  
Consider securing 
the following: 
A. 	Because of the possibility of electric currents being cut off 
and because we cannot allow any lights at the front groups 
and formations, you should consider providing lanterns and 
candles to be used temporarily.
B.  	Estimate the needs of nylon sheets which will be used to 
cover the shelters, and the supply and food storage for the 
possibility of rain.
C.  	Because of the shortage in gas and the need to conserve the 
use of it, you should consider providing (al joul) (T.C.:  
Unknown word)  to be used for personal purposes at the 
defensive locations because it does not take up a large 
space.
D.  	Consider providing petroleum cookers for the officers 
restaurants and use the petroleum burners for the rest of the 
ranks.
E.  	Consider providing burners  at a rate of one burner for each 
small unit and two burner for each large unit to reduce gas 
consumption.
F.  	Assemble the lightning rods very close to important locations 
(supply storage, sensitive devices locations, command 
quarters ) to reduce shock effects which might happen due to 
thunderstorms during the winter.
G.  	Close and tighten all water tank covers in order to keep the 
water clean and keep rain water out of the tanks.  
H.  	Provide oil barrels enough for 10 days and distribute as 
following: 2 days at company, 2 days at the units.
First of two pages

(Page 378)
3 days at the formation, 3 days at the division.
I.  	Use all material available (for example barrels and 
containers) to store all reserve material at the front (such 
as foods and supplies) 
J.  	Surround the supply piles which are on the ground with sand 
bags or blockades to prevent water from seeping through, and 
surround them with poles from all directions and a drainage 
system to collect the water.
K.  	Consider providing nylon sheets to cover the supply blocks 
and to insulate the shelters using wood and tin.
L.  	Prepare and maintain the vehicle covers and check the 
availability of the back cover.
M.  	Avoid storing supplies in low spots because they may collect 
water when it rains.
N.  	Use battery lights instead of fuel lanterns inside the supply 
locations
O.  	Check the fire extinguishing equipment to see  that it works, 
to be prepared for any shock leading to ammunition explosion 
and affect the whole location.
P.  	Provide alternative locations for vehicles, because current 
locations may not be suitable after it rains.
Please take necessary actions, and inform management officers to 
carry out the above instructions.
