Annex N (Logistical Support) to 800th MP Bde Desex@!- Shield/Storm
After Action Report
Discussion:
(a) Pursuant to the Geneva Convention, the capturing
Unit must provide for the health and welfare of the EPW. FM
19-40, Appendix D, lists those items necessary to meet the U.S.
standard of this requirement. When requisitions entered into the
system, they were passed to the National Inventory Control Point
(NICP) as there were no supplies in-Theater to support these
requirements for the EPW'S. The NIC? indicated they did not have
the necessary stocks on-hand to support the EPW requirements and
that they would have to generate contracts to meet the need.
This meant a 15 to 30 day wait just to get the supplies into the
system. It would also mean an additional 2 to 6 weeks to get the
supplies shipped into the Theater. As a result, the Headquarters
negotiated with Host Nation support to receive the much needed
supplies.
(b) it is evident that the U.S. Army supply system has
no plan in-plac* to support the large influx of EPW. We recoin-
mend that items listed in Appendix D, FM 19-40 be placed in War
Reserve Stocks. Since there are 5 Camps's sets would be needed.
Storage of these items would be cost effective since many of the
items could be gotten from obsolete items coming out of the sys-
tem. only slight modifications would need to be made (i.e. jump-
suits need to have a IIPW" printed on the log of the trouser, NBC
masks would be retained instead of going to salvage, used MOPP
suits utilized as cold weather clotfiing.) Tents for housing of
the EPWIS was also a major problem, and should also be included
into the War Reserve Stock.
Recommendation:
(a) Utilize obsolete uniforms and equipment to support
EPW Operations to reduce the cost to the U.S. Government.
(b) Construct individual camp sets of Class 11 & IV to
be placed in War Reserves.
17. Issue: POL storage at East Camp
Finding: There was no organic fuel support/storage capabili-
ty @Lt East Camp.
Discussion:. The Booth MP Sdo (Pw) had in excess of 750
prime movers, to include 120 buses, which were operational 24
hours a day. The Camps used in excess of 4000 gallons of fuel
daily. Support for fuel to the East Camp was to have been deliv-
ered-bv 1."qBase Baotone. This proved impractical since they were
serv ic units forward, and did not have the assets to support
our re rements. The East Camp lacked the necessary storage fa-
ailit to store the different types of fuel. To
