                     COMBAT SERVICE SUPPORT

    TOPIC:   Class I.

    OBSERVATION:   It has to be a supply point distribution
system - we have no push capability.  Out here the units are
l~~% dependent for Class I and. it really hits home - there is
no cheating - like bakery runs or borrowing from another unit
or mess hall nearby.  Material handling equipment is a major
problem.

    VIEWER NOTES:


    TOPIC:   The Mechanized In~antry Modified Table of
Organization and Equipment (MTOE).

    OBSERVATION:   The Mech IN MTOE is totally lacking in the
support area for this theater - companies have only one (1)
wheeled vehicle which is totally insufficient.   Distances are
exaggerated.   The lSG, XO and CO must have wheels.  Admin
commercial vehicles1 as long as they are 4-wheel drive might be
a better solution rather than military vehicles.   In addition,
the water carrying capability of a typical unit is insufficient
- unsure how things would of went if there was not commercial
haul available.

    VIEWER NOTES


    TOPIC:   Casualty cards.

    OBSERVATION:   Casualty cards need to be a triplicate form
so that the unit can retain a copy - experience in Panama was
that they had to make a copy of the card because commanders
will generally want stats on type, number o~ wounds,  friendly
fire casualties, etc.
