     C.          SG, CDR, XVIII ABN CORPS, G3, 21110OZ OCT 90, SUBJ:
     DECONTAMINATION CAPABILITY (U) (NOTAL).

     1. @     REF A REQUESTED ACCELERATED FIELDING OF THE M17, STATED

     OUR INTENTION TO DISTRIBUTE INITIAL 18 SYSTEMS TO THE 82D ABN@

     DIV, AND REDISTRIBUTE DISPLACED TC STANDARD B SYSTEMS AMONG OTHER

     CORPS MSC. REF B STATED THE TOTAL CORPS REQUIREMENT FOR M17,

     ESTABLISHED INITIAL FIELDING PRIORITIES, LISTED M17 RECEIVED IN

     CONUS IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO THE DESERT SHIELD DEPLOYMENT, AND

     REQUESTED NUMBER OF M17 AVAILABLE FOR FIELDING AGAINST OUR TOTAL

     REQUIREMENT. REF C PROVIDED AN ACROSS-THE-BOARD ASSESSMENT TO

     ARCENT OF THE CORPS' DECON CAF'ABILITY BASED ON FORCE STRUCTUR@=

     AND EQUIPMENT. THE ASSESSMENT CITED THE M17 AS A KEY ELEMENT IN


     OUR DECON STRATEGY.

     2.       SUBSEQUENT EFFORTS AIMED AT ASCERTAINING THE STATUS OF

     THIS FIELDING HAVE PRODUCED LITTLE USABLE INFORMATION CONCERNING

     AVAILABLE QUANTITIES OF M'17 AND WHEN THEY WILL BE FIELDED. WE

     WERE ASKED TO COMMENT ON WHETHER WE WOULD ACCEPT M17 WITHOUT

     COMPLETE ASIOE. MOST LIKELY WE WILL SINCE THIS IS HOW M17 WERE

     RECEIVED IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO DEPLOYMENT.
