573. The following is maj cerris report for the day:
What follows is an extraction of my reports to higher from today;
#I. XVIII CORPS OPERATIONAL STATUS: No significant problems
noted with combat systems. #2. TASK ORGANIZATION: NO CHANGE.
FLOT: 6TH LT AR DIV(FRENCII), 101st DIV (AASLT), 24TH ID(M), and
3rd ACR are screening along PL RAZOR in zone. #5. REMARKS: #I.
Dust pallative is and will continue to be an essential product.
CORPS is currently experiencing problems in MSR construction
because of a lack of dust pallative. This problem will be
magnified during pH III and may affect operational tempo. The
problem has two aspects. A- availability of the product. B-
hauling the product when it is available. ARCFNT ENG, CPTs
Reichert and Cahill, are working the issue. They report that they
may need to raise this as one of the top five issues with the
Saudi government. This elevation of the issue should be supported
in order to get the pallative in the quickest manner possible.
------------------------------------------------------------------
11. CORPS planners are working on conplans for future ops.
#2. CORPS units are focused on force protection and preparation
for combat. 13. M3A2 NET for 3rd ACR is on track and should be
