           After Action Review
           Executive Summary


           average rate of over 5000 soldiers per day through March,

           April, and May. While redeploying the soldiers that saw

           action in Desert Shield and Desert Storm we began replacing

           our own personnel. We had to not only maintain a presence to

           closeout the theater, but also to balance energy and fresh

           ideas from new personnel with continuity and experience from

           the veterans. A number of people who had handled the war's

           ht-ctic pace volunteered to stay, and we are fortunate that

           they did. Seventy units in the command were identified as

           critical to the closeout mission and were replaced with

           Transportation Terminal Units (TTUs), active component units

           from Forces Command (FORSCOM), and a mix of individual active

           and reserve soldiers. Sixty-one provisional units were

           formed using this active/reserve mix.

               b. Among the units we received and equipped was the Ilth

           Armored Cavalry Regiment from US Army Europe (USAREUR). 3685

           soldiers from the llth ACR drew equipment from the command

           and began to perform their mission of defending and helping

           to rebuild Kuwait.

               C. A historic moment for us in this war was when the 3rd

           Armored Division, the last unit remaining in Southwest Asia

           that fought in the ground war, left the theater in 15 June.

               d. our experiences involved the oil well fires that had

           been set by the Iraqi army during the war. (number) wells

           that had been pumping oil were producing fire and smoke.

           Kuwait and much of the east coast of Saudi Arabia were

           covered under a gigantic cloud that initially created
