           Cdr's Comments: The amount of training ammunition on hand (particularly 5.56 &
           7.62 and demo) is far too small; we have requested a fix from 83. Working on
           ways to improve 2d Bde force protection. Response to carpentry tasks has
           slowed due to lack of skilled manpower and wood. We have asked Cdr, DREAR to
           identify the engineering needs in the DRA so we can better task organize for
           OPLAN 18-90.

           Cdr's Comments: We continue to be critically short of Arabic linguists. This
           problem has been evident for several weeks but is more of a problem now owing
           to return of 311th and 519th MI BN linguists. At this point in time, we have
           15 linguists on hand. We need over 50 to be able to accomplish our mission
           with high standards.
