            After Action Review
            Executive Summary
                                                                        LI
            r @ ired a concentrated effort on each private, sergeant, and
            officer to direct their energies to this effort. Over
            339,000 tons of classes 1, II, IIIP, IV, and IX, and 280,000
            tons of class V alone had to be processed and loaded into
            containers. Each of the 117,298 wheeled and 12,526 tracked
            vehicles had to be washed, inspected, moved to port and
            loaded on ships. our fleet of 1830 aircraft had to be
            inspected and wrapped for protection from the salt air before
            loading.

                b. During Phase II, the Ilth ACR completed its mission
            and began redeployment operations on 1 September. They were
            replaced by a task force from the 8th Infantry Division in
            Europe. This task force of two armored and two infantry
            battalions would encounter similar dangers faced by the lith
            ACR. Both these units as well as our own people did a superb
            job of carrying on their missions in spite of the heat, the
            separation from family and loved ones, and many other
            obstacles to success.

                c. During this phase the decision was made to establish
            prepositioned stocks in Kuwait, along with Theater War
            Reserves (TWR) and Operational Project Stocks (OPS) to be set
            aside from the stocks being retrograded. The numbers
            associated with prepositioned stocks may be found in volume
                :f the Closeout After Action Report.
                    On 24 Sep 91, the Secretary of Defense approved the
            deployment of a Patriot battalion from the 94th Air Defense
            Artillery Brigade to Saudi Arabia. This was in response to
            Iraqls refusal to comply with the terms of the cease fire
nd was tasked to provide logistical
            support. This was done without any compromise in the pace
            set for closeout.

                d. The "Final ChaVterlt LOGEX was held on 9 September.
            This exercise introduced the tasks involved in closing out
            the theater. Tfie pace.of retrograde operations made it
            possible to compress the third phase into the second phase.
            Retrograde operations, less Class V, were to be complete by
            15 December 1991. The "Transition to Closeout" Phase became
            a separate plan encompassing several concepts which would
            cover the completion of all closeout missions and provide
            support for continuing and contingency missions.

            4. Phase III -Transition to Closeout

                a. When General Hear, the new CENTCOM CINC visited the
            command on October 3, "Transition to Closeout" included the
            following:

                    (1) Transition of the Combat Equipment Group
            Southwest Asia (CEGSWA) from KKMC to Doha when KKMC closeout
