          detectors and chemical company, remainign XM-2 samp-
          remote sensing chemical agent alarm (RSCAL), equipmen,
          computer assisted BW hazard prediction system (ANBALIS
          by Defense Nuclear Agency.

          113. 27 Jan 91 - CENTCOM msg (27135OZJan9l) to ARCENT on
          deployment of biological detector team and operational concept
          BW detection, warning, and identification. Covered capabilities
          of teams, deployment of first time (to arrive 27 Jan) with second
          arriving as airflow permits; employment at sites throughout AOR.

          114. 29 Jan 91 - Two pamphlets jointly developed
          technical advisors sent to AOR and DOS for distribution. (See item
          101.)

          115. 5 Feb 91 - CENTCOM Surgeon indicates blood drawn from EPWs
          for BW diagnostic purposes was done by Saudi officials. US acted
          as courier only in sending specimens to US Army Institute for
          Infectious Disease. Grave concern over protecting rights of EPWS.

          116. 7 Feb 91 - J5/J4 forum to discuss detector systems which
          might be ready for shipment to AOR. Looked at detector tickets
          (XM2 sampler); how to resolve on-site versus lab analysis (which
          takes 24 hours for results). USAMRDC (LTC Crumrine) working with
          Army ODCSOPS to resolve.

          117. 9 Feb 91 - CENTCOM request to USAMRDC received for support
          in obtaining BW defense information: use of various antibiotic
          combinations against AX and requirement for literature on use of
          antibiotic (Ciprofloxacin).

          118. 4 Mar 91 - CENTCOM msg (041803ZMar9l) "Termination of AX
          and Bot T Vaccination Program". Indicated personnel not required
          to complete series, if begun.






          119. 5 Mar 91 - Vaccine production problems surfaced by
          DASD(MR-Dr. Collis) "Project Badger" working group: liability
ens industry; no commercial market for orphan vaccines;
          industry does not have time sensitive flexibility; industry does
          not have secure locations; industry not responsive to unique
          military needs and infectious disease requirements.

          120. 6 Mar 91 - -         results received on EPW blood
          specimens. Deter ination could not be made regarding whether or
          not EPWs had been immunized against suspected BW agents.
