           Executive Summary

           especially in light of the fact that 70 percent of Army
           logistic units are in the reserve components. Army Reserve
           and National Guard soldiers provided their much-needed and
           often unique capabilities with professionalism and
           dedication.   They interacted with the active components
           smoothly to accomplish the most complex missions. Their
           performance proved that the reserve component soldiers have
           the ability to transfer civilian job skills into the logistic
           support arena.

               c. Care of the soldier remains our number one priority.
           Great efforts were made to assure that redeploying personnel
           were taken care of in terms of providing for their survival
           needs as well as their comfort and morale. A particular
           favorite was the "Wolfmobile" fast food trailers, which were
           placed in each assembly area. Other comfort and morale
           improvements were provided as time and resources allowed.
           Morale, Welfare, and Recreation items were placed in all
           assembly areas.

               d. The co=and's redeployment effort produced results
           ahead of schedule with airflow and ship departures moving
           smoothly. Instead of a 60-day turn-around as experienced by
           several shipping lines between ports such as Athens, Greece
           and Cairo, we were running a 28-day turn around from Saudi
           Arabia to the United States.

           6. As you review the reports which document our closeout
           efforts, we think you will realize that while the actual
           fighting of the war ended nine months ago, our missions did
           not go away. Closing out the theater presented as great a
           challenge to our logistic abilities as opening one under the
           conditions encountered in August 1990. The cor=and's
ent of the mission ahead of even the most
           optimistic forecasts is a tribute to the technology and the
           flexibility of current doctrine. Our successes achieved in
           the post-war period is especially strong testimony to the
           dedication and professionalism of the young men and women of
           our Army today. Take time to reflect on the data that
           follows, as this experience and the lessons learned will be
           the foundation of future operations of this kind.
