                truck today. CORPS Eng is happy about the initial delivery
                but expressed a concern about ARCENTs ability to keep it up.
                - G day remains the 24th. Many CORPS principle staff
                officers put out a warning to their soldiers today not to get
                complacent about the war because of the peace talks.
                Continue to drive on with the threat remaining the same and
                the day we go to war remaining the same. - Cerri found that
                Maj Jarvis was the individual working the issue of getting
                additional trucks for the 82nd. However, he would not go any
                further in the process until he found out how many 5 ton
                cargos or civilian equivalents that the 82nd already had.
                Cerri passed on the requirement to LTC Vogel, XVIII G-4 and

                gallons of fuel a day and 3 additional POL Truck companies.
                Gibbons said that SUPCOM had briefed Gen Waller

                ultiinateum to Sadan to start moving out of Kuwait by sometime
                tom (boss wasn't sure about the time). - SPC False called
                to say that he had cut the orders attaching A Tn to XVIII but
                he could not FAX them successfully. He would have them
                couriered to us. - Gibbons passed that ARCENT was working
                on a FRAGO that would cut Ist Cav back to ARCENT. - ARCENT
                is in the process of sending a message to XVIII explaining
                what CORPS will have to provide in order to have a PX in the
