   to yo@rself, you don't need it. This is for people who are
   severely effected by nerve agent and needs to be administered by
   a buddy or pal. These all will fit into the package, the pouch
   and the gas mask container. It's bulky and confusing, but with a
   little training people will know how to use them.

           To ensure they know how to use them, we had 90,000 of
   these pocket cards printed. A lot of troops have them. If your
   troops don't have them, come to see me and get some. We have
   issued out about 45,000.

           For the staff, I will leave these packages and cards.
   Pass them around; then if anybody doesn't have one or have any
   questions about any of that? Good. That's all I have, sir.

   COL HASTINGS: Can you equal that, Judge?

   COL HAIMAN: How the hell can anybody equal that? Nothing today.

   CAPT HARLOW: Doing the final tweeks for Gen Waller today with
   the MSCS, and also Gen McKaney, the echelon above Corps. His
   message came out yesterday. He's coming out on the 8th. We were
   planning on the 7th, so we will confirm that one way or the
   other. Still tracking on the Gray on the 9th, sir. That's all I
   have.

   MAJ ING: Just two things, sir. The LOI was out for the
   movement. I'd like to make a change to that. The staging which
   takes place today for the Alpha Group, which is departing
   tomorrow, instead of going over in the company area it will go
   out here on the road so everybody doesn't have to move their gear
   as far. We will move the pallets out and they can move their
   gear out of the compound on the pallets and forklift it on the
   trucks. That will be the same thing tomorrow for the Bravo Group
   leaving the day after.

           The only other thing, sir, on the NAP and the CANINE, our
   corpsmen will be coming around today to the various sections
   issuing those things out to the people and giving about a
   ten-minute class; and then to make sure everybody is covered,
   what I'd like to do when the convoys form at 8:45 is anybody in
   that convoy that hasn't received this, the corpsmen will be out
   there to issue it to them, to give them a class before the convoy
   heads out. That way we will cover everybody before they go
   north. That's all I have, sir.

   COL HASTINGS: I don't have anything.

   GEN BRABHAM: Sir, the battalion commander and two truck
   companies in support of us checked in with my ops. They are
   moving in with us.

   GEN BOOMER: Can you support them?

   GEN BRABHAM: Yes, sir. They will significantly increase our
   capability. In fact, coordinated all of Ray's staff. They are
