      SUPPORT IS ENVISIONED AS UNAVOIDABLE DUE TO UNIT DISPERSION AND

      DISTANCES INVOLVED. IN-COUNTRY HAND-OFF, AS OUTLINED IN THE DRAFT

      CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS, IS NO LONGER REQUIRED-

           E.       A WRITTEN LOCISTICS SUPPORT PLAN IS STILL UNDER

      DEVELOPMENT BUT SHOULD BE EASILY COMPLETED BEFORE 31 JAN 91. THE

      CONCEPT INVOLVES OVERLAYING THE L06ISTICAL SUPPORT FOR BW DEFENSE WITH

      THE CONTACT TEAM ARRANGEMENT ALREADY IN PLACE TO SUPPORT THE NSCRS

      VEHICLES.

      4.       APPRECIATING THE DIFFICULTY OF FULLY DETAILING AND FIELDING A

      NEW CONCEPT AND NOVEL EQUIPMENT, WE ARE PREPARED TO PROVIDE A

      COORDINATION TEAM

             TO MEET WITH YOUR STAFF AND EXPLAIN THE OPERATIONAL AND

      TECHNICAL ASPECTS OF THESE BW DEFENSE INITIATIVES. THEY CAN ALSO

      ASSIST IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF A CONCEPT OF EMPLOYMENT IF YOU DESIRE.

      S.       WE WILL CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN A R&D EFFORT DES16NED TO SEEK

      IMPROVEMENTS TO THE EXISTING SYSTEMS.   OUR COAL IS TO PROVIDE THE BEST

      SUPPORT AVAILABLE.  WE WILL, OF COURSE, AWAIT CINCCENT APPROVAL BEFORE

      DEPLOYING PERSONNEL OR EQUIPMENT.

      6.       I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS PROPOSAL WILL NOT SOLVE ALL THE

      PROBLEMS BUT WE HAVE SPENT A LOT OF TIME ON IT AND IT IS THE BEST WE

      HAVE RIGHT NOW.  IT HAS BEEN DISCUSSED WITH ALL SERVICES AND THE TOTAL

      PACKAGE REPRESENTS OUR BEST EFFORTS.   WE HAVE PEOPLE IN TRAINING WITH

      AN OBJECTIVE OF MAKING THE TIME LINES LAYED OUT ABOVE.   IF THEY ARE NOT

      NEEDED IN COUNTRY WE NEED TO CHANGE THEIR MISSION.
