            digging pits for waste water, trash, and contaminated medical

            waste. A 92nd soldier was wounded by shrapnel when a piece of

            unexploded ordnance detonated. As the battle quickly and

            successfully progressed, it became apparent that there would be no

            need for another logistical base, and the battalion began to

            consolidate its forces.




                               PHASE VI - Defense of Northern Kuwait




                 When the President declared Kuwait liberated and Iraq's army

            defeated after 100 hours, the 92nd's focus was directed toward

            supporting the defense of Northern Kuwait. While still in direct

            support of the 3rd AD, the battalion.received missions to dig 30

            Iraqi graves and construct 25 kms pf MSRs from the division's MSB

            kilometer area. During this mission, a soldier was wounded when a

            booby-trapped truck detonated. On 7 March, Charlie Company moved

            into Kuwait with the mission to clear and grade MSR Blackbeard, an

            important 62 km lateral route, from Iraq into Kuwait. A most

            critical and hazardous area was the 20 kms of commercial highway,

            which was cleared of destroyed civilian and military equipment.

            Additionally, Charlie Company provided austainment engineering

            support involving berm construction and a drainage system for

            continued water supply operations, to a Well Drilling Detachment

            (WPU), and a Reverse Osmosis Water Purification Unit (ROWPU).
