After Action Report
Recommendation: Both the Food Service SOP and the operation
Plan must detaii EFe- requirements that need to be met to prevent
the spread of disease. FM 19-20 'Field Hygiene and Sanitation'
and FM 21-10 'Unit Sanitation T*aml outline the measures and
means that need to be taken to meet field sanitation standards.
23. Issue: Higher Headquarters Concept of the EPW Mission.
Finding: It became evident early on that hillher Headquar-
ters Ea-d-no-id*a of the magnitude of the EPW Mission.
Discussion: On I December 1990, a Brigade advance party con-
sistin-g-a-f-ER-e-Deputy Cdr, G-1, G-3, G-4 and two representatives
from two of the Camps were mobiliz d in support of Operation
Desert Shield/Storm. By the time they arrived in Theater, the
logistical package to support the :peration was already in place.
The EPW mission appeared to be an after thought in the concept of
support. . The Brigade G-4 and the Deputy traveled to Riyadh to Ar-
cent G-4, to.id&n'Eify. support requirements and effect coordina-
tion. The proj*46t4d i4.iLpture rat*s,quot*d to the Briqad* for plan-
ning purposes more -for an @ EPW population of over 100, 000. At
this time, @unnort requirements to meet the projected population
were Established. Some.*xampl*s of items noed*d to meet the pro-
jections are 200k blankttat@,200k sets of clothes, 100k protective
masks, 100k towels# look pair of shoos and socks, 150 miles of
chain link fence, 1000 GP Mod tents, and over 1.5 million gallons
of water, and 300,000 meals daily. This was just a small portion
of the.support ne*dod to meet the EPW population needs. Beyond
procuring the materials and supplies, there was the requirement
for transportation asset.* for movom*nt of cargo, engineer support
for installation of water, ol*ctrical, lighting, latrine, shower,
and numerous other facilities, and maintenance support for keep-
ing everything from wheel*d.v*hicl*s to refrigeration units opera-
tional. The n*od for those forms of support was never considered
nor was the support available thru U.S. channels once identi-
fied. The G-4 ArCent. recommended that Host Nation provide the
support. Only than were-attempts aad* to reach support agree-
ments with the Host Nation. Brigade personnel would be in-place
to ensure that the interests of the VW mission are taken into
consideration and that,the obligations tol@rovide for the EPWS,
as set forth in the Geneva Accords, as we as IcRc requirements,
are'.being m*t. Th*-0-4 would have an opportunity to develop low
cost solutions for procurement of materials to support the EPW
mission. The G-4 w-culd also be in position to work with the Most
Nation in order to tailor the support package from the resources
available in country.
Recommendation: The Brigade Advance party should deploy (15
personnel) when EFe-r-o is knowlodq* that hostil ties could devel-
op, in order to participate in the logistical planning phase of
the Conflict.
