              The movement of the division's combat power forward to the
        TAA ended with the closure of Second Brigade TF on 29 Jan 91. 96

        Not including Second Brigade's movement from Al Qaysumah, the

        division's deployment forward required 358 C-130 chalks and the
                                   9?
        conveying of 1910 vehicles.   The remainder of the division's

        equipment was transported on flatbed trucks. The division proved
        its self-deployment capabilities by self-deploying all of its
        helicopters from Camp Eagle 11 Eo the TAA. 98

              However, the divisions deployment was delayed for several

        days due to an ad-hoc transportation management system that

        violated unit command and control. External transportation

        assets were piecemealed to the division from a pool of assets

        belonging to a variety of units. The movement would have gone

        more efficiently had entire units, with their own leadership,

        been provided to complete missions per established movement
        priorities. 99

              With the completion of this intra-theater deployment, the

        division had a massive combat force positioned on the Iraqi

        border. At its call, the division had three air assault infantry

        brigades, three battalions of 105mm howitzers, and an aviation
        brigade of three attack helicopter battalions; one air cavalry
        squadron; one utility, three assault and one medium lift

        helicopter battalions. The division also had the usual support
        of its air defense, engineer, signal and military intelligence

        battalions, as well as the Division Support Command (DISCON).
