              591 2000 SFC GILLIHAN RELIEVED SSG WILLIAMS ON CTOC

              592 2004 The following is a compendium of maj cerris
              reports to higher, various meetings attended and things
              picked up around the CTOC:

              #I. XVIII CORPS OPERATIONAL STATUS: No significant problems
              noted with combat systems. #2. TASK ORGANIZATION: NO
              CIIANGE. FLOT: 6TH LT AR DIV (FRENCII), 101st DIV (AASLT),
              24TH ID(M), and 3rd ACR are screening along PL RAZOR in
              zone. #5. REMARKS: 11. 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. ARCENT 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. #2.
              CORPS conducted a meeting to determine the best way to deal
              with contaminated KIA. A report on the outcome of this
              meeting is listed below;
                                                                    X120191

              SUBJECT: EVACUATION OF CONTAMINATED REMAINS FROM TIIE BATTLE
              FIELD.

              1. XVIII ABN CORPS has been working hard on the process of
              how to evacuate contaminated remains quickly from the battle
              field. They are concerned because their zone lies in Iraq
              and they may not be able to properly police the battle field
  after the war. CORPS hosted a meeting with medical, GREEG,
              COSCOM, and G-4 raps today to resolve some of the issues.

              2. As a result of todays meeting the following
              recommendations have been made:
                   a. Contaminated remains will not be moved from the
              location of contamination. This is in line with theater
              policy.
                   b. Remains will be placed in a 5% solution of
              decontaminate for the appropriate amount of time.
                   C. At the conclusion of the decon the remains will be
              placed in a vapor free container and checked with a 256 kit
              to determine if they are clean.
                   d. When a clean reading is achieved the remains will be
              evacuated to a GREEG site.

              3. CORPS noted that chemical or medical troops will probably
              not be available to conduct the decon of remains. These
              soldiers will be conducting other missions. The soldiers
