                             MANEUVER

    TOPIC:  Routes of March.

    OBSERVATION:  There are few hard surface roads within the
interior of Saudi Arabia, and many of them are not well
maintained.  Secondary gravel roads and trails crisscross the
landscape, but they too are not maintained and quite frequently
are like driving on a   washboard."  Except for the main
arteries, there are few road signs or trail markers except
those contracted by the Bedouins.

    LESSON LEARNED:   Routes of march will quite often be
cross-country over rugged and changing terrain with only
partially adequate maps and a compass.
