             MEMORANDUM FOR Commander, 3rd ACR                             23 Feb 91


             Subject: Regimental Operations Update (2222OOc-230800c Feb 91)

        (U)  1. IAW FRAGO 48, DTG 221840z Feb 91, consumption of nerve agent pretreatment
             pills (NAPP) will commence NLT G-Day, H-4 hours (Charlie) for all Corps- units
             and soldiers.

         (U) 2. Rc-d FRAGO 50 (attached) at 230322 Feb 91 actions regarding peace
             initiatives.                                                        5 USC 552 (b)(1)
      (U) Y(3. Two SCUDs were launched
                            No further info.

        (U) 4. An update from 2 ACR (RTAC) given at 230455C Feb 91 follows:
                      - 1330 hrs   Arty Prep - 7 minute duration
                                    (MLRS and other ARTY supporting)
                      - 1400 hrs   2/2 and 3/2 Cross the LD

        (U) 5. BBC broadcasts at 230500c contained the following:
                 - The British Prime Minister stated that the Coalition Forces will act
             on their own time table not the one that the Soviet Union proposes.
                 - Some are looking at this act by the Soviet Union as an attempt to save
             and old ally. Some feel BUsh's setting of a deadline date/time is an attempt
             to take control of the situation. The efforts of the Soviet Union could
             affect future diplomacies between them and the U.S. depending on the outcome.
                 - 150 oil wells have been set on fire in Kuwait.
                 - one fourth of Kuwait oil fields are covered by black smoke.
                 -The burning of the oil wells will not affect the forces and any action
             that Coalition forces are planning (according to a U.S. official).
                 - The oil wells could burn for a long period - affecting the monsoon
             season and other weather conditions around the world. Iran is concerned how
             the burning of the oil fields will affect it. Some think the burning of the
             oil fields is being done to provide cover from bombing, effects of missiles
             and bombs, and provide less detail of Iraqi positions form planes and
             satellites.
                 - Jordon has seemed to stop linking the Kuwait invasion with the
             Palestein issue.
