              MOBILITY/COUNTERMOBIThITY/SURVIVABILITY

    TOPIC:   Pipeline safety/well heads.

    OBSERVATION:   Pipeline safety/well heads - some are
pressurized and carry oil which can produce hydrogen sulfate
gas if ruptured.   Corps is working with Ararrico to locate and
identify crossing sites and weight capabilities.

    VIEWER NOTES:


    TOPIC:   Soil conditions in the desert environmenL affect
engineer support.

    OBSERVATION:

    -   Triple number of sandbags ~eeded to strengthen the walls
of defensive positions.

    -   There is very little natural terrain to identify
engagement areas.   Must use engineer support and terrain to
channelize the enemy into engagement areas.

    -   Units will rely heavily on engineer support to
channelize the enemy into engagement areas.

    -   The terrain for the most part is either very loose sand
or solid rock.   Survivability positions will require engineer
assets in solid rock and some type of forti~ication in loose
sand.
