         (3) AUTODIN - A. Reliability excellent, worldwide connectivity,
        gets to all units (bases). However, we frequently received duplicates and
        on multi-part messages, often did not initially receive all parts.
 
         (4) STN - A. Reliability good--fills need for classified
        briefings; somewhat awkward in operation, needs expansion outside command.
 
         (5) Secure Fax - F. A must for all centers. Warner Robbins RC fax
         on order. 
 
           g.  Headquarters Briefing Comments
 
                 (1) Frequency - About right--twice per week during high activity,
        reduction to once per week as activity declines.
 
       (2) Content - Briefing duplicated some information we included in
       the situation briefing to our Commander--intel, WR specific logistics
       issues. We used several charts from your briefings--A/C beddown, air
       terminal volume and capability, and future A/C deployments in our briefing.
       This saved us considerable work in compiling the information.  Suggest this
       type information continue to be compiled at the HQ in future contingencies
       as it saves considerable and duplicative effort at the ALCs.
 
       (3) Field participation - Continue in the future as done in Desert
       Shield/Storm. ALCs get delayed briefing and periodically SPMs give AFLC/CC
       a weapon system status briefing as was done during March 1991. However, SPM
       briefing should begin much earlier.
 
          h. Field Reporting/Briefing Comments
 
              (1) See comments on SITREPs/briefings above.
 
       (a) The frequency of other reporting requirements were reasonable
       (Disaster Preparedness, Mobility, Personnel Mobilized, etc.).
 
           i. Comments on Headquarters AFLC Battle Staff responsiveness - The
       majority of questions addressed to the HQ-BS from WR-BS were answered
       sufficiently and in a reasonable time frame.
 
2. WR-ALC/LN Comments: 
 
a. The Electronic Warfare Management Directorate (LN) is thoroughly
dedicated to the support of airborne electronic warfare systems with an
objective to ensure that maximum effectiveness, efficiency and quality are
obtained at the lowest possible cost. During Desert Shield/Storm, LN
shipped in excess of 735,000 units and made 28 Operational Plight Program
(OFP) software changes on 14 systems for both the USAF and Foreign Military
Sales (FMS) customers. Before Operate Desert Shield/Storm, software                                                                      changes were distributed to the users primarily by paper tape punches via                                                                       AUTODIN.

                                                                     2 .
