           rooms/JSIIDS for units. Since all units were initially housed
           in the Camp Forsyth area, DOL assigned and issued the dining,
           billeting, and admin facilities.    Advance Party inprocessing
           usually was completed within three and a half hours.

               e. Convoy routes and gate times were coordinated by Mob
           Plans with Provost Marshal, Reserve Component Unit's
           Headquarters, and KS STARC movement control officers. Routes
           utilized were previously designated in the Information Guide.
           Arrival times were adjusted -For the conveience of units and KS
           STARC'since deconfliction at Fort Riley was not an issue.

               f. Main Bodies generally were directed by Mob Plans Office
           to arrive late in the afternoon or early evening. Inprocessing
           +or the main body began early the next morning. The first
           facilities utilized were adequate -For smaller units,, but the
           need for additional facilities with larger capacity soon became
           apparent. Basically, to process 400 personnel in 6 hours,
           the following assets were required: 19 AG clerks, 10 medics, I
           optical machine, 8 doctors, 1 ID tag machine, 2 ID card cameras
           and staff, 2 SJA officers, 12 finance clerks (a pay station +or
           cash payment), plus an ACS representative who provided soldiers
           with info on Fort Riley morale and welfare Support. Troops were
           then bussed to 5 dental clinics +or evaluation.


               g. By collecting the medical records from the Advance
           Party, MEDDAC was able to prepare required immunizations prior
           to beginning main body inprocessing. Unit clerks and leaders
tributing
           records and controlling personnel. Large Units inprocessed in
           groups of 20-30 or by platoons under the control of unit
           leadership.

               h. Training commenced only after Main Body inprocessing was
           completed. An early lesson learned was the need to emphasize
           the importance of all unit members being present +or the
           inprocessing. Commanders allowed t:fieir soldiers to divert
           to other duties if the requirement +or all soldiers to be
           present for main body inprocessing was not strongly emphasized.

               i. The Fort Riley Mob Plans has a command and control
           organization based upon Full Mobilization and the call up of
           brigade, battalion, and group HHCS. Since this was not the case
           in Desert Shield, Active Component battalion headquarters were
           tasked to provide C2, and the mobilized units were attached
           accordingly. As this was a -foreign concept to the Active
           Component Commanders, we held initial coordination meetings to
           delineate the mission each time a Reserve Component was
           assigned. The amount of support and assistance a RC unit needed
           from the Active Component C2 Headquarters varied. Basic
           responsibliity was for logistics support beyond the Reserve
           Component Unit's capability plus training assistance as needed.
