         PART II GENERAL COMMENTS

         1. FOR DA DCSLOG: REPLACEMENT BATTLE DRESS UNIFORM (BDU) - REQUEST

         YOU CONSIDER GIVING BLANKET APPROVAL FOR ALL QUALIFIED SOLDIERS TO

         RECEIVE GRATUITOUS ISSUE OF TWO BDU'S TO REPLACE UNIFORMS DAMAGED


         DURING DESERT STORM. ALTHOUGH INTENT WAS TO ISSUE FOUR DESERT

         BATTLE DRESS UNIFORMS (DBDU'S) PER SOLDIER UPON ARRIVAL IN SWA, THIS

         WAS NOT ACCOMPLISHED DUE TO LACK OF ADEQUATE STOCKAGE OF DBDU'S.

         MANY SOLDIERS DID NOT RECEIVE BDU'S UNTIL AFTER THE CAMPAIGN WAS

         CONCLUDED. AS RESULT, MANY SOLDIERS HAD PERSONAL BDU'S DAMAGED OR

         WORN OUT. UNDER THE PROVISION OF CTA 50-900, THESE SOLDIERS SHOULD

         HAVE BEEN ISSUED TWO DBDU'S AS OCIE. UP OF AR 700-84, PARA 5-4 D.2,

         THESE SOLDIERS COULD BE AUTHORIZED GRATUITOUS ISSUE AS AN EXCEPTIBN

         TO POLICY. THE UNUSUAL CONDITION WOULD BE THAT OCIE, WHICH THEY

         WERE AUTHORIZED, WAS NOT ISSUED. THE SUPPLY OF BDU'S IN SWA WILL

         NOT SUPPORT ISSUE OF REPLACEMENT UNIFORMS. ARCENT CANNOT AUTHORIZE


         GRATUITOUS ISSUE SINCE SOLDIERS ARE FROM UNITS WHICH WILL


         REDEPLOY TO SEVERAL MACOM'S WHICH WILL NOT BE BOUND BY ARCENT


         DECISIONS. IF YOU GRANT BLANKET APPROVAL, REQUEST QUALIFICATION

         THAT SOLDIER WAS ASSIGNED TO SWA DURING DESERT SHIELD/DESERT

         STORM AND WAS NOT ISSUED OCIE DBDU UNTIL 1 FEB 91 OR LATER.
