          Desert Shield and Desert Storm. Personnel reporting to the Southwest
          Asia operating area were formed into combat replacement companies
          (CRC) and assigned where needed by I MEr.

              The tempo of administrative activity remained at a high level   to
          ensure that all administrative actions associated with Operations
          Desert Shield and Desert Storm were completed in a timely manner,   and
          personnel were in place prior to combat operations. The division
          casualty reporting center was established for centralized monitoring
          of all division casualties. Two reporting teams were formed, from
          the G-1 (Rear) and clerks from reporting units, in anticipation of
          heavy casualties. composition of each team was one officer, one
          staff noncommissioned officer, and eight clerks. Hospital liaison
          teams were formed to track casualties following removal from the
          battlefield. Actual casualties incurred as a result of operations
          were extremely light.

          15.  COMMUNICATIONS

              When the 2d Marine Division main command post moved its location
not yet arrived. Therefore,
          only critical communications assets were employed in the first field
          command post. Communications center support remained at Hall 15, the
          Division support Area (DSA), until access via satellite link could be
          established. Initial communications for units in training areas and
          live fire ranges was via single channel VHF radio only. Attempts to
          establish HP communications failed due to the skip zone and lack of
          clear HF frequencies.

              The satellite link for the communications center was established
          on 10 January 1991. Subsequently the TSC-93 provided worldwide
          secure telephone service, MEF hotline G-3 to G-3, and MEF hotline ACE
          to DASC. Full service on all 12 channels was not completed until 14
          January due to routing and interface problems.
