                                NARRATIVE SUMMARY



        COMMAND, OPERATIONS AND TRAININGs

        The NOMADS of HML 767 continued the high tempo of air operations
        out of the AL Jubayl expeditionary air field (EAF) in the
        kingdom of Saudi Arabia. On February 219 1991, the NOMADS moved
        their entire air operations to the Lonesome Dove Expeditionary
        Air Field (EAF) located eighteen miles from the southwest border
        of Kuwait. The Operation Duty Officers (ODD) were on a 24 hour
        schedule and the flight schedule was generated from the Air
        Tasking Order (ATO) which was published on average about 0100 to
        04313 each morning. Copies of the master flight schedules for
        this period are attached in the appendix. The Squadron utilized
        augment pilots from MRS 26 and the Marine Air Weapons and Tactics
        Squadron I (MAWTS-1), a list of these pilots is attached in the
        appendix. During the month of February, the NOMADS flew a total
        of .379 sorties and 52M.3 flight hours in support of Operation
        Desert Storm. A typical aircrew brief during this period
        consisted of mission information, friendly positions, and weather
        information from the t3DO, a current intelligence brief was
        presented to each crew from one of two enlisted Squadron
        intelligence personnel. Upon return from each mission, the
        aircrews were debriefed by both the ODD and the enlisted
        intelligence briefer. A limited amount of pilot training was
        conducted during this period which included biological and
        chemical threat training flights in the AR-5 flight suit and
        breathing apparatus. Moreover, the pilots continued to train
        with the ANVIS 6 Night Vision Goggles CNVGS). Aircrew training
        during this period produced twelve additional plane captains,
ve aerial gunners. The ATO missions
        assigned to the Squadron during this period included the
        following: close in fire support (CIFS), armed escort,
        psychological warfare operations (Psy0ps), modevac, command and
        control, visual reconnaissance, photo missions for both military
        and civilian press, reconnaissance team extract, tactical air
        control (TAC(A)). The TAC(A) mission was part of a Marine 50
        aircraft heliborne assault into KUWAIT. This extremely high
        tempo of air operations was supported by a superb maintenance
        effort which provided Squadron operations with an outstanding
        93 percent mission capability and 91 percent full mission
        capability throughout operation Desert Storm.
