            Feb (2300-0100 and 0300-0500 hrs) near Wadi Al Batin. No
            enemy vehicles were discovered. On the evening of 2 Feb,
            the division ilso reported that five enemy tanks were on
            the north side of the border, vic NT 5925. The DMAIN
            in-formed us that VII Corps gave permission to another
            division to engage the targets. The briElAde TOC informed
            the attack battalions in case additional support was
            required.

                The brigade formulated its training plan for the week
            of 2-7 February:

                     1-3 Atk Hel Bn placed one company on a 30-minitte
            standby, with two companies on a two-hoitr standby -to
            screen and/or defend the Wadi Al Batin.


                     1-@'27 Atk Hel Bn completed AH64 weapons systems
            verification and 'bransitioned the pilots to reverse cycle.

                     D/227 Avn Co placed OH58Ds at the DTAC from 1600-
            0600 hrs nightly to execute standby missions. The EH&'Ds
            prepared for on-order missions with 312th MI Bn. General
            support missions continued as normal.

                     E/'P27 Avn Co continued to fly general support
            missions. The company also conducted .50 cal machiiieglin
            verification and M16/M60 familiarization.


                     The brigade continued to improve individual and
            unit equipment readiness as part of pre-combat
            preparations.

                3 FEB. The two attack battalions were fielded with the
            M17 "sanator" lightweight decon system. This gave the
            Brigade a limited capability to conduct hasty
            decontamination operations.

                The E/227 commander's vehicle was involved in a head-
            on collision with a Saudi vehicle; the driver sustained a
            possible broken hand but no other injuries occurred.

          The brigade also coordinated with the 316th Medical
            Detachment (Medevae) to provide them with SPINS, ACOS,
            limited aviation maintenance support, and aviation weather
            reports while they remained in support of the division.

                4 FEB: EI-160A aircraft from D/227 conducted a QUICKFIX
            mission for 312 MI Bn. A UH-1 from E/227 was dispatched to
