                               RETROGRADE AND REDEPLOYMENT




                With the tremendous build up of forces in Saudi Arabia

           spanning over five months, it was no surprise that redeployment

           back to Ft. Stewart would not be as quick as the defeat of Iraq.

           Safety was the highest priority in the redeployment period, and  the

           92nd returned from Iraq with everyone alive and in good spirits.

           Once the battalion received the retrograde order from 20th Engineer

           Brigade, the 92nd began packing and cleaning equipment. Bravo

           Company constructed a vehicle wash rack for vehicle cleaning as the

           unit waited for the call to the Redeployment Assembly Area (RAA) in

           Dhahran. The external haul support from corps became available an4T
           the -battalion's heavy equipment was sent to the RAA on 2 April. An

           soldiers was established, 36 to prepare equipment for custo=/USDA

           inspection and the loading of ships, and 14 to be temporarily

           attached to lst COSCOM in support of the Port Support Activity

           (PSA). The 92nd's equipment was staged from 9 - 18 April. The

           equipment was later loaded on 10 ships, and reached the United

           States at various ports from 10 May to 20 June.(See Annex D)

                On 13 April 1991, the 92nd, less its rear detachment, moved

           into Khobar Towers in the city of Al Rhobar. This was the corps

           Personnel Marshalling Area (PMA). At the PMA, soldiers performed
