                                    JULLS LONG REPORT

           1. (U) JULLS NUMBER: 41561-66342 (00414), submitted by RILEY
           AFZN-ST, LTC Johnson, 656-5715, (913)239-5715.

           2. (U) Operation DESERT SHIELD conducted by USCENTCOM on 02/11/91.

           3. (U) KEYWORDS: . TAT PLANNING, PLANNING, ORDERS/GUIDANCE, RWO
           (REAL WORLD OPS), USA (US ARMY), ACTIVE COMPONENT, GUARD COMPONENT,
           RESERVE COMPONENT, C2 (COMMAND AND CONTROL), READINESS, EQUIPMENT,
           OPLAN (OPERATIONS PLAN), UNFAVORABLE, CAPABILITY, COORDINATION,
           CRIT3 (IMPORTANT PROBLEM).

           4. (U) TITLE: DEPLOYMENT: STRATEGIC AIR: Use 500/lbs per Soldier
           as Planning Figure

           5. (u) OBSERVATION: There were frequent last minute "bumps" of
           PAX and equipment from flights due to inaccurate "to-accompany
           troops:" (TAT) computations.

           6. (Lt) DISCUSSION: The planning factor for airload should be
           475-500 lbs per soldier in lieu of the 400 lbs used for
           Operation Desert Shield. Present allocation of 400 lbs does not
           allow enough margin for adiLtStments/errors. For soldiers
           deploying with A and B bags, Alice Pack, one carry-on bag,
           personal weapon, TAT Ammo, body armor, two sets of chem
           overgarments, and five days rations.

           7. (u) LESSON LEARNED: Experience shows that the current weight
           allowance for individual soldiers deploying by air should be
           increased from 400 to 475-500 pounds per soldier.

           S. (u) RECOMMENDED ACTION: FORSCOM AND MTMC: Adopt planning
           factor of 475-500 lbs per soldier when developing airload +or
           future deployment operations.

           9. (Lt) COMMENTS:   none
