                B. DISCUSSION, AN EXTRA PUMP WAS PROVIDED WITH THE HOSPITAL
          TO PUMP SEWAGE.      THE ADDITIONAL MATERIAL TO CONNECT IT TO THE
          TANKER WAS NOT INCLUDED.         EVEN IF THIS PUMP WAS USED, ITS
          CAPACITY IS LIMITED TO 3200 GALLONS.         DUE TO THE 6000 GALLON
          CAPACITY OF THE TANKER IT IS UNLIKELY THAT THE PUMP WOULD BE ABLE
          TO PUMP 3200 GALLONS OF SEWAGE INTO THE TANKER.
                C. LESSON LEARNED: THE PUMP SUPPLIED WITH THE TANKER AND
          THE EXTRA PUMP       PROVIDED WITH THE HOSPITAL         DO NOT ALLOW
          UTILIZATION OF THE TANKER FOR HAULING SEWAGE.
                D. RECOMMENDED ACTION:      EITHER SUPPLY A LARGER PUMP WITH
          ASSOCIATED MATERIAL TO INSTALL ON THE TANKER OR PROCURE EXTERNAL
          TRASH PUMP AND HOSE.        RECOMMEND SECOND ALTERNATIVE IN OUR
          SITUATION.
                E. COMMENTS2    THE PUMP SUPPLIED WITH THE HOSPITAL IS THE
          SAME AS THAT USED ON THE SEWAGE TRUCK. THE SYSTEM HAS INTERNAL
          PARTS.    THE RECOMMENDED ALTERNATIVE HAS THE PUMP AND HOSES
          EXTERNAL. THE CONTRACTORS PUMPING OUR SEWAGE CURRENTLY USE THE
          EXTERNAL SYSTEM ON THEIR TRUCKS.


          17. FUEL PUMPERE
                A. OBSERVATION:    DELIVERY PUMP FOR FUEL TRUCK NSN# 432-00-
          912-3879 BROKE.
                B. DISCUSSION:       THIS SEVERELY      LIMITS THE      REFUELING
          CAPABILITIES OF THE HOSPITAL.
                @. LESSON LEARNED: DELIVERY PUMP HISTORICALLY BREAKS.
                D. RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: AN EXTRA DELIVERY PUMP SHOULD BE
          INCLUDED IN ALL HOSPITAL PACK   UPS.
                E. COMMENTS: FUEL TANKER HAD TO SE UTILIZED FOR REFUELING
          WHEN OBTAINING FUEL, THIS LEFT THE HOSPITAL WITHOUT A RESERVE FOR
          EMERGENCIES.


          18. FIRE FIGHTING VEHICLES.
                A. OBSERVATION:    MORE EFFECTIVE AND SUITABLE FIRE FIGHTING

          A FIELD HOSPITAL.
