                            PERSO @ L AND ADMINISTRATION


          January once again brought changes to the Ist SRI Group deployed
      to the.Kingdoin of Saudi Arabia in support of Operation Desert Storm.

          2nd SRI Group Aucjmentee forces continued to flow during this month
      and all personnel completed their movement to SWA by 14 Jan. The
      increase in personnel assets brought many intelligent Marines from our
      East Coast sister unit which has enhanced our capabilities greatly.
      This increase also helped to close out our January PEPSTAT figures at
      3222, an increase of 886 personnel over last month. During this
      month, notification was also made to all U. S. Armed Forces Personnel
      that Executive order 12744 had been signed by the President
      designating the Arabian Peninsula areas as a Combat Zone for Tax
      purposes effective 17 January 1991. This order excludes from Federal
      Income Tax all compensation for military service of enlisted members
      and warrant officers, during any month in which they perform service
      in the combat zone. Commissioned officers may exclude $500.00 per
      month. This-order provided a temporary. pay increase for all personnel
      due to the hardships that they and their loved ones are enduring'while
      participating in combat operations.

           Saddam Hussein's deadline came and went on 15 Jan 91, and the
      aerial bombardment commenced early on the morning of 17 January. Our
      units continued to support the MEF with distinction throughout -the
      AOR. The end of January saw the battle of KRAFJI take place involving
      an Iraqi mechanized force. The result of the battle will produce some
      of the first battle commendations for heroic achievements that this
      young command has seen to date.
