Location of division units at condusion of offensive operatiom, 27 Fehrua~y 1991.

                     G Plus 4, 28 Februa~ 1991

   At 0647 on 28 February General Myatt directed division units to cease all
offensive operations. An hour later came even better news. Myatt directed that
NAPP and CIPRO pills were no longer to be taken. To many in the division
the discontinuation of the pills was the first tangible evidence the fighting was
over. The threat of chemical and biological weapons that had loomed since
arrival in August and September thankfully had ended.
