           200 - 1200 daily. A high estimate drove the devolo ant of "ad
           Base @merica and the ordering of substantial items or medical
           supply such as litters, straps and blankets. The KASP    and ASY
           estimated they ,could fly out 500 patients a day frOM XMC. A
           substantial amount of engineering work 4as startede although not
           completed by a-Day, to Support this concept at the airfield.

           2. Ground ambulance assets were also au ented by 15 Gover=ent
           of Garmany ambulances and plans for 20 Irtter and 15 ambulatory
           L@uses to support the anticipated volume. The Aubulance Company
           ..7as augmented by 101 drivers.
           3. An assviaption was that 40% of the patients received at this
           I.ooation would be minimal care or would quickly become
           siinimal care.

           4. While medical care for EPW's was specified in ARCENT MEDCOX
           0'&>O'RD 001, date4 2 January 1991, there was no mention of on-sita
           EPW camp medical support.
           S. Information on discharge and transfer was not available during
           the Tanning phases regarding how EPW's would be turned over to the
           P,aud@ medical system. Information was also not available regarding
           the turnover of other foreign nationals or civilians.

           Base America and EPW Camp would be part of their mission. They
           then could have monitored levels of supply.

           7. Although the 2$lst had been augmented by specialty teams, the
           evacuation policy for this location supported the concept that only
           evacuation hospital level medical care would be provided in the
           fixed facility. This concept was not understood by forward
           deployed hospitals.


                   DMLOI)ML'NT AM MODIFICATION OF THE COMMANDER'S PLANS

           1. Needed modification resulted from the planned addition of
           ground ambulances. 90 drivers were requested for these assets
           and for existing assets so that medics could be freed to provide
           care on them.

           2. The development of Mad Base America required the addition of
           a clearing platoon to receive and triage incoming patients.
           The deployment of the 301st and 402d EPW camps without full
           medical complements and the rapid expansion of these camps to
           11,000 prisoners eacft--raquired reassigning an OA Detachment to
           the camp for support of 3,,000 MP's, the assignment of a clearing
           platoon to create a minimal care holding capacity and to support
           sick call and the eventual task organization of additional
           physical assetat madicalosupplies and staffing from the 114th"
