Task Forces Ripper, Papa Bear, and Shepherd at Phase Line Diane south of Kuwait
International Airpofl, 1400, 26 February 1991.

   A section from the Dragon Platoon heard the engagement and soon arrived.
Quickly moving into range the Dragon gunner destroyed the last remaining
enemy machine gun position with a single shot. Organized enemy resistance
ceased at that point. Company C then arrived and, under cover of AAV mounted
.50-caliber machine guns, the infantry dismounted and cleared the quarry.
   By 0030 Colonel Hodory had Task Force Papa Bear positioned for the attack
on  Kuwait international  Airport.       Again   designated the division reserve
supporting Task Force Ripper, Papa Bear was not scheduled to begin its advance
