                612. 1100 RECEIVED WORD THAT THE 241D M2S HAD OVERRUN AN
                ENEMY MRL SITE. NO DETAILS YET.
             @ el 1
                613. 221947 Maj Cerris day in review:
                - The report from 24th about overrunning an MRL was an
                error. - Unable to contact VII Corps LNO tm all day. LTC
                Novak had the same problem with the HQ at VII Corps. THe
                problem is on the VII Corps end. - MARCENT reprots that
                they received an erranous report from their FOX vehicles
                today. There was no chemical attack in MARCENT AO. The 2
                LAI did go over the border to establish a screen for
                artillery to move into position to fire artillery raids.
                When the 2LAI went over the border they got into a fire
                fight. As of 1500 it was still going on, this was some 15
                hours into the action. They had captured around 100 EPW.
                Grid for the action was QT 6001. - JFCE rNO team reports
            that they took a 1 and a half artillery barrage earlier
                today. No casualities reported. Action was vie Kafji. An
                additional item of interest was a mine field breech that they
                conducted. 2 Cos had been out on a ground recon when they
                came up to the first obstacle bait. No one was shooting at
                them so they decided to breech the mine ficls. A company
                commander cleared the first mine and then had a quick class
                for the rest of the soldiers after which they proceeded to
                pick up the mincs. They created a breech 50 meters wide on
                the friendly side that narrowed to about 10 meters wide on
                the enemy side. THey brought about 75 mines back to the TOC
                with them. Breech site is TM 29366327. - JFCN had nothing
                to report. The following is an embellishment of the reports
                that Cerri sent to ARCENT today:
