          to each site in tbe AOR.

          In order to take advantage of inter-operability with our Saudi
          host, we deployed our aircraft at bases where they had similar
         weapon systems or depots, i.e., F-15s and E-3As. We negotiated a
          swap arrangement in which either party would be issued a part with
          the guarantee of a one for one replacement. This proved to work
          well for both the US and Saudi Air Forces.

            When hostilities ceased, an orderly plan was developed to close
        bases and base supply accounts. A time table was established when
        aviation packages would depart each site, with a base closure
        working group determining when each base should be completely
        vacated.   LGS worked on a base closure plan and coordinated with
        each Chief of Supply to determine when certain records should be
        transferred by CSSA to home station, when peacetime operating
        stocks should be packaged and sent back to the CONUS, how to
        teardown and package Harvest Falcon equipment and forward it to the
        aggregation site, and when to formally close the account.
        Communications was critical because the communication plan was to
        "turn off" all communication lines four days after the aviation
        package departed. Disposition of materiel, i.e., war reserve
        materiel, follow-on spares, and accumulated primaty operating
        stock, was critical to reconstitution of forces at home station.
        Therefore, working guidance was provided to units to move property
        in the right direction. Weapon system spares, to include FOSK,
        HPMSK, WRSK, support equipment and operating stocks, would be
