            3. Re: CL I at LOG BASE Charlie. I called Maj Hake, the ARCENT
            G-4 briefer. The percentage being briefed at the ARCENT morning
            CG's update is a 5 DOS stockage objective(SO). He told me that he
            knows that the SO is supposed to be 10 DOS and that the numbers
            don't jive and that the discrepancy is causing a lot of
            frustration. I asked if he had done anything about it. He said
            that he had asked Gen Monroe if he could change the slides and
            that the Gen had said that he would tell Maj Hake when to change
            the slides.
              I called Maj Guthroy, 321st MMC CL I, to ask him what So the MMC
            was working with, what head count they were working with and what
            numbers of meals they currently reflected at LOG BASE Charlie.
            Maj Guthrey told me they are working with a 10 DOS SO. The head
            count they are working with is 113,000 and the number of meals
            they want to get on the ground is 3,390,000. He gave me the
            following as the number of meals they were currently carrying on
            the ground at LOG BASE Charlie:
                 499,104 MRE
                 259,884 T Rat
                 168,800 B Rat
            He also told me that he had been informed that CORPS had an
            additional 1,016,064 MREs on the ground at LOG BASE Charlie.
            According to him CORPS had classified these as a contingency stock
            and were no longer adding them into the number of meals on the
            ground.
              When I asked him what the problem was he said that it was
            transportation. LTG Pagonis had visited the site a couple of days
            ago and was told the same thing. The day after his visit the
            number of trucks provided improved "a lot" but has dropped back
            down. one additional factor in all of this is trailers.
 are not returning trailers and this was
            holding up the trans of all commodities.
              He would not make a prediction of when the 10 DOS would be
            achieved or if it ever would. He did pass to me that the 24th had
            picked up rations direct from LOG BASE Bravo to meet a temporary
            shortfall.
              I understand that none of this is a solution. My intent is to
            provide information that could be used to balance the books.
              1 recommend that CORPS consider using its own assets to pick up
            the rations from LOG BASE Bravo. While not a doctrinal answer it
            may solve the problem for the short term. At G-3 I feel that
            short term fixes may be appropriate.

            - Deep target priorities were a problem for a while today. CORPS
            saw a copy of a slide that ARCENT used to brief what it thought
            was XVIII priorities. They were wrong. cerri was given a copy of
