               Arabia and establishes ATBM defense of designated critical
               facilities. 0/0 Ilth ADA Brigade expands operations as part
               of an integrated air defense system to provide point and
               area defense air defense coverage within the CENTCOM area of

               3. (U)    EXECUTION


                    a.        Cc)mmander's Intent. The seriousness of the
               situation in Saudi Arabia cannot be overstated. Orderly
               transition -From peace to war must be well thought out and
               accomplished right the -First time. I want unit shortages
               identified and internal -Fill of early packages. Remaining
               shortages need to be forwarded to the Bde S-4 for
               consolidation and fill. The tactical situation will
               continue to change due to threat activities, allocation of
               aircraft and air defense priorities in the CENTCOM area of
               operations. Leaders at all echelons must remain calm and
               show extreme patience. Focus on the end result should be
               considered and back planning to accomplish this is vital.
               Finally, commanders need to ensure time is allocated -For
               family briefings. Specific guidance on -Family briefings
detachment commanders for
               deploying units must be designated and aggressive interface
               with family members is paramount until return of llth ADA
               Brigade soldiers to home station.

                    b.        Concept of the Operation. (See Annex D,
               Deployment Timetable) Elements of the llth ADA Brigade will
               execute a phased deployment into Saudi Arabia to initially

               TF 2-7 ADA will deploy four battery packages augmented with
               Stinger/ground defense from 5-62 ADA to Dhahran, Al Jubayl,
               Ad Damman, and Umm Said. Phase Two - TF 3-43 ADA will
               deploy two battery packages augmented with Stinger/ground
               defense from 5-62 ADA to Riyadh to provide ATBM defense.
               0/0 llth ADA Bde will continue deployment of Patriot assets
               to thicken ATBM defense and develop an integrated air
               defense system.
