                At 170145 Jav 1991 our ADFCO notified us that the
              allies likd launched 100 Tomahawk missiles and that the air
              campaign had begun. The air defense warning wts elevated
              to yellow. The battalion's mission was to continue
              providing air defense coverage over the divi5ion7s area of
              operation, but i new dimension was added. Our early
              warning system received its first of many tests, as a SoLtd
              missile was launched in retaliation toward Dhahran



              DEFENSE NORTH OF THE -RAF,LINE (17 - 26 JAN 9i)


                As the air campaign progressed, VII Corps continued to
              build combat power, and the Division was ordered to move
              further north of the 'rxpline Roxd to better positions to
              block an Iraqi preemptive strike and support our allies to
              our front. During this movement, Task Forces Hart and
              Cofer (our logistical life lines for ammunition And fuel)
              were formed and again the bA,Utalion provided assets to
              protect these critical units.   A VLtloan plttoon from both
              A and C battery were provided to supply air defense ind
              ground security for Task Forc@e's logistical bases and
              convoys.

                 After, VI'@ Corps achieved combat ready status, the
              Syrian forces to our north shifted east and the Division
              moved north with the mission to screen the border and
              'timately feint an allied attack up the wadi. On 2A. Jan
              Lt.L
 @)l, the battalion received its remaining three Avenger
              platoons from AD at Ft Hood. 'These soldiers immediately
              replaced the three Stinger -beekms attached to D Battery,
              whose soldiers were returned to their organic batteries.
              The task organization for the battalion now Anci for the
              remainder of the Alar is listed on the next 1Diqe.  1-h i s
              task organization generally provided the following
              coverage- Stinger section coverage to the maneuver task
              force5l ipine@tver elements and trains. Avenger section
              (two teams) coverage to BSAF@. DIVARYY received one
