                                   Communications


              The Communications Shop continued to work hard during the
         month of November supporting 2 Tactical Exercises Without Troops
         (TEWT), and a Division Air Coordination exercise. In addition, the
         Communications platoon had the challenge of maintaining two range
         safety nets +or the safe and incident free running of Sheppard
         range, which was located 35 km from the battalion assembly area.
         Keeping the many radios and required nets functioning in the harsh
         desert environment still required a constant effort. The
         battalion Communication Shop continued to set the example +or the
         rest of the Task Force by providing efficient and reliable
         communications.


                                       Medical

              During the period of November 1990, while deployed in the
         Saudi Arabian theater, the medical staff was involved in mass
         casualty planning and operational exercises. Reiteration of
         classes previously given at Camp Pendleton, (e.g. Nuclear,
         Biological and Chemical, basic first aid and field sanitation)
         were given at the company level. Advanced Training Life Support
         Courses have been ongoing at the corps staff and Medical Officer
         level.

              Medical problems in general have been minimal with
         self-limiting (travelers) gastroentenitis being the primary
         problem.

                              Command-Reliqious-Progrgo

              During November, LCDR Schmidtlein continued the counseling of
         Marines and Sailors and either offered or coordinated the various
         denominational religious worship services required for the
         battalion. He accomplished this +eat through company size
         services which he held in numerous locations throughout the
         Arabian desert.
