             (including over 500 sets of web gear, helmets, and gas masks) at
             the request of the Kuwaiti police and army. Made all such items
             available to CA soldiers as souvenirs and war trophies;

             CCATF G-2 with Iraqi classified documents.

             fighters and other oil personnel, as well as the overall security
             of Ahmadi. As part of this effort, and in conjunction with the KTF
             and American SF personnel as well as Kuwait Operations Center (KOC)
             personnel, the Police Assistance Team did the following:

                  a.   Established a coordinating committee involving the US
             military (CA, SOF, and EOD) and Kuwaitis from the KOC, Kuwaiti
             Army, local resistance forces, and local fire departments;

                  h.   Established an operations center to act as a clearing
             house for information of value to police;
