(l) DISCUSSION: With not having any major warehouses to store
equipment we are in critical need of chemical resistant plastic
sheets/rolls for contamination avoidance.

(2) PROPOSED SOLUTION: CENTAF ABO place a higher priority on
our location receiving the needed material. We are briefing
organizations on using any type of covering they have available, but
the reliability of these materials is questionable.

(3) REQUESTED SUPPORT: The necessary assets be obtained,
allocated or reallocated to us by CENTAF ABO.

J. (U) PROBLEM: We are short approximately 54 Revetment Kits.

(1) (U) DISCUSSION: We have inventoried kits on hand and do not
have the amount on hand that the staff thinks are on hand.

(2) (U) PROPOSED SOLUTION: Locate additional kits to permit
revetting the majority of aircraft.

(3) (U) REQUESTED SUPPORT: CENTAF source and ship additional kits.

PART IV. (U) OTHER.

1. 31TFW AIR TRANSPORTABLE HOSPITAL: The 31 MED Gp/SG reports
100% operational capability for their ATH. Per CENTAFs direction we
have provided the following lessons learned:

A. MOBILITY PROCESSING: 5206-1 Several individuals with old style
gas mask were issued wrong filters (riot agent filters). We must
enforce checking equipment at time of issue.

B. MARSHALLING:

(1) (U) Shade is needed to protect tape and materials from intense
sun when left on flight line more than 2 days.

(2) (U) Despite 2 inventories on ATH, there were several
shortfalls, compounded by last minute publication of new TA's.
Shortfalls included 02 (sm. canister for transporting patients from
Triage to X-Ray to ward), sufficient suction machines, band-aids, and
Alcare. 							(3)

(U) Medical materiel was marshalled too far in advance of departure.
Exposed oxygen cylinders were a safety hazard. The prolonged heat
exposure damaged some drugs.

C.  (U) TRIP OVER: MAC personnel did a remarkable job given the
magnitude of the airlift. The field kitchen and hospitabilty
facilities at Torrejon were very well organized with strong base
support.

D. (U) ARRIVAL:
