          It is assessed that Iraq has a total of 109-112 scud missiles, 22
          total launchers, with 12 of these launchers targeted towards
          Saudi Arabia. At maximum range the Al Abbas has a 7-8 minute
          flight time.

              b. Friendly. Units will continue an intensive NBC training
          program. The training will concentrate on equipment maintenance,
          actions before, during, and after a chemical attack, first aid,
          NBC-1 reports and acclimation in MOPP. Decontamination, smoke,
          and chemical reconnaissance support -For all phases TBD.

          2. Mission. See Basic Order


          7.. E;@eCL(t ion


              a. Commander's Intent. To minimize heat stress and to
          maintain full combat effectiveness, we will fight in the lowest
          prudent level of MOPP. Rapid warning, reporting, and active
key.

              b. Concept of the operation. Prior to the initiation of NBC
          warfare, units will implement both active and passivl,
          contamination avoidance measures. Once NBC warfare has begun,
          Corps will request authority to retaliate, not necessarily in
          kind. A minimum MOPP level guidance will be issued by Brigade.
          Subordinate commanders can increase the MOPP level based on the
          threat and mission. Units will be prepared to establish their
          own hasty decon sites during all phases of the operation. Units
          will request additional dl-con support IAW the FSOP. Units will
          plan for the use of mechanized, indirect smoke as well as smoke
          pots in ill operations.
