   artillery; and Ripper fired mortars; Taro fired TOWs, and Abu
   Hadriya fired small arms and throw grenades; and Jeboa, the
   Staffords fired small arms.

           in other training at Task Force Taro, subordinate
   battalions practiced basic infantry school training, NBC monitor
   and survey exercises, company level mechanized training; and 3/3
   exchanged companies with the Army for a joint training program.
   Task Force Ripper conducted its field exercise with a night move
   to contact to an attack position just north of the AB line -
   that's the road from Abu Hadriya, southeast - followed by an
   attacking zone to destroy the enemy and create a passage lane for
   follow-on forces. 7th Armor Brigade supported its helo force in
   the conduct of a modevac exercise. They evacuated over 100
   personnel through their chain to their field hospital; and
   subordinate elements did a mine laying and clearing exercise and
   platoon battle drills. In SRIG training, their deployable CP,
   which is currently in the northern area, were testing
   communications and did.two night displacements and a day
   displacement; and the Radio section of Co B, 9th Comm, set up a
   medium to transmit images from the MEF to the Division Forward.

   GEN BOOMER: Intelligence kind of images; is that what we are
   talking about?

   G-3 GROUND: Yes, sir. Tracking Army Phase II deployment, 84
   percent of VII Corps equipment has now left home station, and  the
   Corps ammunition loadout will be complete by 15 December. 48
   ships are en route to Southwest Asia from Germany; two have
   already offloaded and are headed back, two are offloading now  and
   four more are due in today. Bad weather in Europe is slowing   the
   deployment, and some movements were canceled yesterday due to
   road conditions.

           Four MPS ships are loaded out in the SPOEs, six ships en
   route to Southwest Asia; and MPS-1 is due east of Gutera.

           This afternoon we will be running another schedule drill
   communications check at 9:30 this morning, sir.

   COL LOHMAN: Only two additional items, sir. 1600 today the
   range team is expected to arrive from Quantico. We are all set
   to pick them up, have spaces for them to live and work.
                                                         0#105 U.S.C. 552 (b)(7)(D)
           In the last meeting we had with                he asked
   for a letter outlining the ranges and air space requirements. We
   have been coordinating that with EPAC. We have to have the
   letter completely drafted, areas reconned and everything in three
   days, sir. That's on track.

   GEN BOOMER: All right. We are going at this a lot of different
   ways. I hope they all come together somehow.

   COL LOHMAN: That's all I have, Chief.

   COL LIST: Sir, we have completed construction work on ASP-2,
