          provided. Liaison was established with 1/25 to discuss its
          role as EPW handlers for the Task Force. The logistics section
          coordinated a logistical TEWT which allowed units to exercise
          the concept of moving log trains through the breach and
          establishing the RAS. Final meetings were held to discuss log
          train movement to the LOD and tacticai overlays were provided
          to the units as G-Day approached. The logistics concept is
          identified in Task Force Op Order Annex D. G-Day operations
          and the isolation of Kuwait International Airport are
          thoroughly covered in the Task Force Summary of Action, Upon
          cease fire of Operation Desert Storm, coordination was made
          with Division to turn in all Llriexperided ammunition to ASP#3
          near Al- Mishab.


          ORDNANCE

          equipment for the Task Force. Six E1470 50 cal. sniper
          rifles were received; both 1/1 and 3/9 received three each.
          Additionally, 75 ANPVS-7B Night Vision Goggles were received
          and distributed. Several LOC vehicles were configured with
          crew-served mounts for weapons systems to provide mobile
          security for both the LOC and log trains.

          MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT


               The month of February allowed the task force to conduct a
          maintenance stand down. Throughout this period the task force
          maintained a high level of combat readiness. Average readiness
          was 96.8%. Final log stat reconciliation was completed iin an
          effort to reflect accurate figures, which allowed for planning
          by both the Task Force CO and Division Staff. MIMMS procedures
          were manually conducted. Input would be later punched once an
          automated service was established.

  Upon the arrival of the remaining Headquarters Company
          and 111's equipment/vehicles, the motor transportation section
          coordinated the return of temp-loaned equipment. An innovative
          effort was made as the section configured a TOW variant HMMWV
          that provided the Regimental Air Officer with increased
          communications capabilities. The section assisted several Task
          Force units with maintenance contact teams and refueling as
          required.
