    (3) (U) Request CENTAF/LGM source the assets and deliver as soon as
    possible.
    
    B. (U) Morale and postal support.
    
    (1) (U) DISCUSSION: We go days at a time without seeing a "Star
    and Stripes", and the mail situation is sporadic at best. Both
    situations directly translate to a morale issue. It may not be
    broken, but it's only hitting on about three cylinders.
    
    (2) (U) PROPOSED SOLUTION: Find the right "belly button" to push
    and turn up the heat so these vital links with the outside world get
    delivered to the "end of the line."
    
    (U) REQUESTED SUPPORT: Your continued effort to fix it.
    3. (U) LOGISTICS:
    
    A. PROBLEM: Transportation facilities at King Fahd are
    inadequate.
    
    (1) DISCUSSION: All Refueling Maintenance Operations are
    conducted outside in an unprotected environment, and we have no
    facility to store refueler maintenance equipment.
    
    (2) PROPOSED SOLUTION: A portable hanqar just arrived to cover
    this requirement. Thanks!
    
    PART III. (U) COMBAT SUPPORT.
    
    1. The Combat Support Element is fully manned and providing all
    required support.
    
    A. PROBLEM: The Civil Engineer lacks the 5KV, 1/0 aluminum
    cable required to install the 4.16KV transformers
    
    (1) DISCUSSION: All transformer parts have been found. The
    5KV, OT cable is being sourced at Myrtle Beach AFB supply.
    
    (2) PROPOSED SOLUTION: HQ CENTAF/DE coordinate shipment once
    purchased.
    
    (3) REQUESTED SUPPORT: Direct the shipment of the 50,000 feet
    of cable from the CONUS to this site.
    
    B. PROBLEM: Two shower/shave units, one expandable shelter,
    two SDC are required to support 1st SOW and 31 ATH.
    
    (1) DISCUSSION: One shower/shave unit required to bring the 1
    SOW up to that required per person. The second shower/shave required
    to support the 31 ATH -- it will be 31 ATH's only shower/shave
    facilities for patients. Expandable shelter required for civil
    engineering shop space at 1 SOW camp. SDC's required to power
    shower/shave units and shelter
    
    (2) PROPOSED SOLUTION: HQ CENTAF/DE source assets.
