        and one (1) BCS. The Ammo section distinguished itself by
        coordinating and supervising the receipt and issue of the
        battalions BA and DOA with three major ammunition resupplies
        being accomplished in a period of five days.

             Combat Service Support during Desert Shield and Desert
        Storm was provided by CSSD-10 and for a short period CSSD-17.
        The requesting of and receipt of most consumable supplies was
        very good, with the supplies either being available immediately
        or obtained within 24 hours. Deficiencies in the maintenance
        support was a problem. Prior to and during combat operations,
        the battalion received NO equipment (with the exception of one
        CUCV) back from the maintenance cycle that had been repaired.
        Commodities received unrepaired equipment back from the CSSD upon
        completion of hostilities.

                                        MEDICAL

             During this period, the Medical Department supported the
        battalion prior to, during, and after Operation Desert Storm
        combat operations. The battalion suffered no combat casualties.
        The BAS saw a total of 358 sickcall visits, treated six enemy
        Prisoners of War for various illnesses, and medivaced four 3/12
        Marines for non-combat injuries and illnesses. The Medical
        Department's training tempo was high and included Preventive
        Medicine training for the Marines of the battalion, contaminated
        and conventional casualty evacuation drills, combat casualty
        care training for the corpgmen and some Advanced Trauma Life
        Support Training for the corpamen. We continued a tradition of
        excellence in the 3/12 medical department.

                           Personnel and Administration


             Due to Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm, the tempo
addition of a
        third artillery firing battery added to the increased tempo of
        administration. The administrative activity remained at a high
        level in association with the attachments and detachments of
        augmentees, TAD personnel, reserve units and Unit Deployment
        Program Personnel.
