                          SAUDI LOGISTICS SUPPORT ( U )
      
       - There are no known logistics limiting factors at this time.
       However, we have concerns about the availability of tank killing
       munitions and chemical warfare defense equipment
       
       - Logistics Readiness Center is checking the location of tank
       killing munitions and what it would take to make them available
       
       - The Joint Staff asked the Services to determine the need for
       additional chemical warfare defense equipment and to expedite
       procurement. This will require SAF/AQ participation
       
       -- AF/XOOTM checking availability across the Air Force
       for possible reallocation
       
       - (U) Personnel support is being provided by the Saudi hosts
       
            -- Host nation support (HNS) will be adequate for tbe
            force currently being deployed until intratheater lift is
            established witb CENTAF stocks prepositioned in Oman
            
            -- (U)Oman stocks can support about 11,000 personnel at bare
            bases
            
            -- Significantly more personnel can be supported if HNS
            continues to be provided
            
             -  No fuel problems bave been reported, but it is a concern
       because it is totally dependent on HNS
       
       - (U) Other problems requiring HHQ assistance may be included in
       the first CENTAF SITREP
