        training exercise in October 1990 to rehearse the passage.of
        lines phase of OPLAN 90-3 down to the company level. so

              On 10 November 1990, the division issued Change 1 to OPLAN
        90-3. The major change was that the 12th c@B would remain under

        the division's control throughout the plan. The 12th CAB was to

        conduct a counter Attack in support of the division's passage of

        lines. Following the passage of lines, the 12th CAB was to move
        to FOB A Shau or FOB Dak To and prepare for future operations.  51
              This aggressive plan for the defense of Saudi Arabia

        required an equally aggressive logistical support plan. The
        Division Support Co=and (DISCOM) was task organized to provide

        support to all assigned and attached units. A division support
        area (DSA), located at Camp Eagle II, would support division
        forward operating bases (FOBs@, which in turn would support

        logistic assault bases (LABS) at each brigade. Each of these
                                                                        52
        light, tailored bases would be resourced from DISCOM's assets.

              LA.Bs are designed to provide the smallest capable element

        forward to support logistical requirements. LABs are supported

        through the more robust FOBS. 3d ACR, which was only under the

        division's operational control, would have been supported by
        either the 24th Infantry Division or the ist COSCOM. 53
              During Phase I of OPLAK 90-3, two FOBS, FOB Bastogne

        (TL488415) and FOB Oasis (TK275625), were to support the
        division's brigades' LABS. FOB Bastogne was to support the Third

        Brigade TF and the 12th CAB LABS, while FOB Oasis was to support
