         ELEMENTS HAVE SHOWN UP IN SOUTHERN IRAQ, WEST OF THE 25TH INFANTRY

         DIVISION AND A REASSESSMENT OF THE 16TH INFANTRY DIVISION AREA


         REVEALS THAT THERE IS NO MECHANIZED INFANTRY BRIGADE SUBORDINATE

         TO THIS DIVISION. AN SA-6 AND AN SA-8 APPEARS TO BE OPERATING IN

         THE VICINITY OF THE IST MECHANIZED INFANTRY DIVISION. IN NAVAL

         ACTIVITY, A LARGE NUMBER OF IRAQI VESSELS HAVE DEPARTED Umm QSAR.

         THERE HAVE BEEN REPORTS THAT IRAQI TERRORIST AND INFILTRATORS HAVE

         BEEN CAPTURED BY SAUDI GOVERNMENT FORCES. IRAQI FORCES WILL

         CONTINUE TO STRENGTHEN THEIR DEFENSIVE POSTURE INSIDE @AIT AND

         DEPLOY UNITS WEST OF THE TRI@BORDER AREA. THE PRESENCE OF AN SA-6

         AND AN SA-8 IN SOUTHERN KUWAIT SIGNIFICANTLY ENHANCES THE LOW TO

         MEDIUM AIR DEFENSE COVERAGE OF THE AREA. ALTHOUGH IRAQ RETAINS

         THE CAPABILITY TO TRANSITION INTO OFFENSIVE OPERATIONS IN LESS

         THAN 18 HOURS, ITS MOST PROBABLE COURSE OF ACTION IS TO DEFEND.

         XVIII ABN CORPS STILL REQUIRES A POINT-TO-POINT VOICE

         COMMUNICATION LINK BETWEEN ARCENT AND THE CORPS G2. WE CONTINUE


         TO AWAIT THE ARRIVAL OF A COMPLETE TIBS SYSTEM WITH SATCOM RADIO

         AND ANCILLARY EQUIPMENT. THIS SYSTEM IS NECESSARY TO FNSURE

         ACCESS TO AWACS AND RIVET JOINT INDICATIONS AND WARNING
