            the 92nd for command and control. This brought the battalion

            strength to some 900 soldiers and provided great additional

            horizontal construction capability. Over the next two months, the

            battalion would complete 41 engineer missions, including 244

            kilometers of MSR (15 kms of which was asphalted with a single

            surface treatment), eight concrete helipads, laying over 2,400

            square feet of airfield matting, and 17 other unit life support

            projects. These included constructing earthen berms, building

            access roads, digging garbage pits, constructing defensive

            positions, and building shelters for units' class IX storage needs.

                As missions came in, it became apparent horizontal assets were

            the critical requirement-. An example was MSR Cadillac, one of the

            corps' construction priorities and an important lateral passageway

            Northwest for the 24th ID (MECH). The battalion task organized its

            earth moving platoons OPCON to Alpha Company and, except for the

            single surface treatment work, Cadillac was completed 5 December

            1990. Other high priority supply route missions, such as MSR

            Volvo, gave the 92nd experience which was to prove useful during

            the upcoming Desert Storm phase.

                Although not as critical as horizontal missions, vertical

            missions kept our carpenters equally busy. Major vertical missions

            included : complete renovation of the 24th ID (MECH) battle staff

            vans (map boards, tables, light fixtures, and map racks); extensive

            rehabilitation of the joint 24th ID (MECH) PMO and Saudi civilian

            police relocatable office trailers; placement of five concrete

            maintenance pads for the 24th ID (Mech) DISCOM and five concrete

e. Concurrently,

            the 92nd provided daily, heavy equipment to neighboring units for
