         Daily SITREP 7th Engineer Brigade

         291800C MAR 91


         TO- VII Corps G-3 (OPS)

         1. Daily Commander SITREP:

            a. SitLIatiOl-)'. Engineers are now focusing on MSR maintenance
         and destruction of Iraqi equipment and supplies. We are planning
         +or movement back to RAAS. 7tti Engineer Brigade has operated
         equipment in theater on an extensive basis since the first week
         in December 1990. There has been no let-Ltr), operations continue.

         Have directed specific maintenance actions in preparation for
         redeployment. Expect OR rate to initially +all significantly.
         It will improve over time. Brigade is currently maintaining over
         15OEJ km of MSRs in Corps sector. Assumption of XVIII Airborne
         Corps sector has stressed assets but +eel we are accomplishing
         mission. Combat engineer battalions continue demolition mission,
         combat heavy maintain MSRS. Divisions should utilize organic
         engineer assets +or work in their sector. We are concerned about
         lack a+ Corps level logistical support forward of Lc)g Base
         Nellingen. Movement into the XVIII Airborne Corps sector
         necessitates the need +or Corps level logistical support (Class
         1, III and IX) forward in the Corps sector-.

            h. Problems Requiring     Corlos Assistance:

                 (1) VII Corps policy for return of captured enemy
  equipment is confusing. What can we bring back as far as weapons,
         amounts and vehicles to USAREUR? XVIII Airborne Corps reports
         con+iscations of weapons at poi-t (DAtvlivl()M) due to ()MC requirements
         and ARCENT policy. Do we need LLn-it-speci+ic ARCENT approval in
         order to avoid confiscation when Our eqL.lipment/milvans go through
         port?

                 (2) Aviation requests +or the 7th Engineer Brigade
         Commander have been canceled for the last three days in a i-ow.
         The Brigade has responsibility to provide engineering Support for
