After Action Report
I. Issues: Enemy Prisoner of war diets.
Findinq: All food for the EPW's had to meet the Islamic Di-
etary stanairds.
Discussion: Working with the Host Nation contractors and the
KSA P-r-ov-e-6-E-o-Be an excellent means of ensuring compliance with
the Islamic Dietary standards.
Recommendation: It is essential to work with the Host Nation
to ensure all curfu-ral needs are met and to ensure the welfare,
health, and safety of the EPW's IAW the Geneva Accords.
2. Issue: Accountability and Supply Management for EPW Opera-
tionf--
Finding: Authorization documents inadequate to handle mis-
sion suppor:E requirements.
Discussion: Due to the large number of EPW personnel support-
ed w3-Eff-all-cra-sses of supply and equipment, it was necessary to
utilize Host Nation and local purchase sources. A Headquarters
and Headquarters Compi!ny Supply Section is not staffed to order
all the necessary equipment and supplies necessary for construc-
tion of multiple EPIW Camp sites, nor the rocurement of life sup-
port items for 70,000 EPWIS. in utiliz inpg the Camn HHC DODAAC &
UIC, requisitions were commonly cancelled, for elt;er being in ex-
cess of authorized stackage level, or simply because not autho-
rized. This had a negative impact on the mission. It prevented
the Camps from requesting the equipment prior to entry into The-
ater, and caused the Brigade G-4 Section l@-o order for all five
Camps, under the HHC 800th MP Brigade UIC and DODAAC, once the
Brigade arrived in Theater. Had a separate DODAAC and UIC been
issued, property accountability could have been established and
maintained through a separate property book. This would enable
the G-4/S-4 to track costs associated with the EPW mission, moni-
to.r consumption rates of expendables, accurately predict safety
and stockage lev*lst and account for all non-MTOE and special pur-
pose equipment issued to the Units for EPW Onarations. A sepa-
rate DODAAC would also give the unit the flexibility to tailor
the support packaq* to fit the EPW mission in any area of the
world.
Recommendation: The Brigade ACS-SSM (G-4) So--tion and each
Camp should be ii7sued an additional DODAAC and UIC strictly for
EPW Operations.
3. Issue: Shortage of Food Preparation Equipment -for the FPW
campf--
Findinq: There was no food -preparation equipment on-hand for
pr,aparation-of EPW rations.
