1. THE FOLLOWING PROVIDES RESPONSES TO YOUR REFERENCED MESSAGE: 
: 
A- CWDE IS A PROBLEM WITH NO CLEAR CUT SOLUTION. REQUIRED 
ITEMS ARE ON MEMO DUE OUT. BUT LACK OF FUNDING LEADS TO INCOMPLETE 
BAGS. WE SENT OUR SERVICEABLE BAGS OUT AND RECEIVED DEPLOYMENT 
TASKING A FEW DAYS LATER. THE BAGS SHIPPED TO US WERE INCOMPLETE 
AND HAD EXPIRED SHELF-LIFE ITEMS. CURRENTLY, WE DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH 
COMPLETE C-BAGS TO SUPPORT ANOTHER SQUADRON. SOLUTIONS MIGHT BE TO  
COLLECT ALL THE BAGS AT ONE LOCATION AND REDISTRIBUTE AT TASKING OR 
TO NOTIFY UNITS AHEAD OF TIME WHERE BAGS WOULD COME FRON. 
	B. STANDARD UTC REQUIRED TAILORING UP OR DOWN. DEPENDING ON 
THE LOCATIONS PROBLEMS WERE ENCOUNTERED WHEN UNIT AND DEPLOYED 
COMMANDERS TRIED TO TAILOR THE UTCS. VERBAL AGREEMENTS WERE MADE 
BETWEEN THE UNIT AND DEPLOYED COMMANDERS AND THE TAC BS/CC DIREC- 
TION CHANGED WITH EACH SHIFT CHANGE. FUTURE AGREEMENTS NEED TO BE
