NSN DODIC QTY SHORT NOMENCLATURE
1375-00-724-7040 M023 3,000 CHARGE, DEMO, M-112
1375-01-037-5428 ML04 300 CUTTER, MK 23

3. DISPOSITION AND STATUS OF FORCES. CURRENT ATO ADDS ANOTHER
FOUR F-15S ON TWO HOUR ALERT.
4. INTELLIGENCE. SCUD ACTIVITY WAS INDICATED ON 25, 26, 27,
AND 28 DEC. FOR THE FIRST TWO WE IMMEDIATELY REACTED TO THE TACC
PASSED SCUD ALERT BY GOING TO LOCAL ALARM RED FROM OUR PREVIOUS
CONDITION OF LOCAL ALARM WHITE. {(b)(1) sec 3.4 (b)(6)]

IN THESE THREE CASES, EVEN BEFORE WE HAD COMPLETED OUR ALARM RED
CHECKLISTS HIGHER HEADQUARTERS DETERMINED THAT WHITE WAS AGAIN
APPROPRIATE. FOR THE SCUD LAUNCHED 28 DEC, WE RECEIVED A MUCH MORE
MEASURED DIRECTIVE TO GO YELLOW. LAUNCHED FROM THOSE COORDINATES,
THE SCUD COULD NOT HAVE REACHED US. GOING FROM WHITE TO RED FOR
FIVE TO TEN MINUTES AND THEN IMMEDIATELY BACK TO WHITE IS CONFUSING
AND ALMOST COUNTER TO THE DEFINITIONS OF THE VARIOUS CONDITIONS. IF

ATTACK IS PROBABLE, WE SHOULD BE IN YELLOW. [(b)(1) sec 3.4 (b)(1)]

OTHERWISE, IF ATTACK IS UNLIKELY,
EVEN WITH A SCUD LAUNCH, WE SHOULD STAY WHITE.
5. LOGISTICS.
A. MAINTENANCE.
(1) 95.2% MC
(2) PMC AND NMC REASONS. AIRCRAFT 5119 NMCS IS THE CANN BIRD.
THIS AIRCRAFT IS DOWN FOR 32 GROUNDING PARTS. THE LEAD PARTS ARE AN
AVIONICS COOL MONITOR, NSN 6685-01-178-7635 WITH BA STATUS FROM
SEYMOUR-JOHNSON, FOUR PILOT VALVES NSN 2915-01-078-9119 WITH, AND
2915-01-065-3149 WITH BA STATUS FROM DHAHRAN, WHILE NSN
2915-01-097-0518 HAS BA STATUS FROM TYNDALL, AND NSN
2915-01-160-0968 WITH NO STATUS. LAST FLY DATE WAS 8 DECEMBER
(3) THE LACK OF TEWS INTERMEDIATE SUPPORT SYSTEM (TISS) CAPABILITY
IS STILL OUR NUMBER ONE SHORTFALL. OUR MICAPS AND STATUS OF THE
TISS IS COVERED IN PARAGRAPH 5E (7). WE STILL FEEL THAT FORCE
SHIPPING THE 30 SHIP SETS WOULD HAVE BEEN AN EASIER WAY TO
ACCOMPLISH THE CONVERSION TO P3I ALR-56C. THERE NEEDS TO BE A
