         Subj:   JOINT LETTER OF INSTRUCTION (LOI) FOR CASUALTIES
                 ASSOCIATED WITH OPERATION DESERT SHIELD

         Ref:    (a) MCO P3040.4C
                 (b) BO 3040.2C

         Encl:   (1) Chapters 2 and 3, MARCORCASPROCMAN
                 (2) CACO assistance phone numbers

         1. This letter establishes procedures for a consolidated
         casualty assistance call program for FMF organizations, MCB
         units, and tenant commands at Marine Corps Base, Camp Pendleton.

         2. A reduced number of personnel rdmain behind from deployments
         to support operation Desert Shield. Only a few of these karines
         have administrative backgrounds. Accordingly, the Base Adjutant
         (in cooperation with FMF rear echelon commanders and tenant -
         commanders) will coordinate base-wide for all casualty notifi-
         cation and processing requirements. This will apply to deaths,
         injuries, MIA'S, etc., that could from conflict in Southwest
         Asia (SWA).

         3. This coordination will be complex, but will serve our
         deployed forces and their families in the geographical area of
         Camp Pendleton as assigned by the CMC and 12th MCD. A single
         point will ensure accurate gathering of casualty information,
         coordination, and accountability, as well as thorough training,
         efficient control, and timely dispatch of Casualty Assistance
         Call Officer (CACO) personnel.

         4. Two teams, each consisting of five trained personnel, have
         been assigned from the Base Adjutant's assets. Each team will
         stand a 24-hour on-call rotational watch, with the Base Adjutant
         as OIC; The Base Casualty Coordination Center (BCCC) will be
         located in the Base Headquarters, building 1160, rooms 157 and
         159. Additional logistics requirements, such as phone lines
         and stand-by transportation, will be funded and implemented by
         MCB in the near future. Points of contact are Major 0. A. Daly
         and/or MGySqt D. L. Carr. The following Base extensions are
         available:                                                ls.
                                                                             S.C. 552
         5. Activation will occur when notification of indivi
         or mass casualties is received:                                   )(6)
