                Base camp. Rations were initially drawn out of Theater

            Support Supplies KKMC. This required three convoys per week.

            Rations were picked up and stored in refrigerated vans. Some

            bottled water and MREs were stockpiled in the battalion S-4 yard to

            ensure the UBL was readily available for the ground attack.

            Non-potable water was consumed at a rate of 200 gallons per day
