                By noon, the 8Q' km-plus tactical road march had been
             completed and direct coordination with 1-156 was underway.
             Once again, within about two hours of halting, we were
             traveling across the rough desert surface, prepared to
             provide fire support to the Division as it conducted a
             movement to contact eastward toward the 00 no,,-th-saLtti-i
             grid line and perhaps, on order, farther on. This would
             amount to another tactical road march of some 30 km. By
             271C,00 Feb, the DIVARI'Y TOC was located at PU 877320 ind
             awaiting further instructions. Soon thereafter, we learned
             that we would hold up where we were -- thus ending 27
             consecutive hours of the most intense maneuver ever
             COTidLkoted by this Division Artillery.

                Tine DIVAR'L-Y soldiers welcomed their first opportunity
             to rest in two days; nonetheless, they anxiously awtited
             instructions to continue the attack to the east. Ti-iose
             instructions never came, as news of the temporary cease-
             fire began filtering through by the early morning hours.
             LJltimately, it would be the artillery of the adjacent
             divisions that would fire the final rounds of the war,
             while the soldiers of the lst Cav's Red Team watched. The
             war and ti-ie furious pace of the past two days would come
             -to an end at KIBOO hrs, 28 Feb.





                                       CE(-)SE FIRE
                                    (26 Feb - 10 Mar)



                As a recap of the DIVAR-FY actions just prior to the
             cease -fire. At 0800, 26 Feb c)l, when the temporary cease
             fire went into effect, DIVAR'L-Y found itself on the etstern
afternoon, the
             division had initiated a movement to contact, between -the
             PU 30 and PIU 50 east-west once lines. DIVARTY was task
             organized witi-i the platoons of A/21 FA prepared to provide
             GS fires to the Division. At an intermediate point (PU
             593VI), along the route of advance from Objective Lee, two
             MLRS batteries and the headquarters element of 1-158 FA
             (01-(lahoiT@a National Guard) joined the DIVARTY fight. B/I--
             158 became GSR to 1-62 F7A; C/1-158, GSR to 3-82 FA. it
             was in this configuration that the DIVIL)R-1-Y was prepared to
             provide supporting fires when the TOC arrived at what
             would become its final wartime position at PU 87'7320.
