         SUBJECT: Movement of Supplies - Special Project      operation Desert
                    Shield


         1. VACCINE (Not pelletized) Total weight             490 pounds
                                         Total Cubic Feet     56
               Seven (7) boxes with each having dimensions of 3411 x 2211 x 19"
         and each weighing approximately 70 pounds.         (Includes wet ice
         weight)    As previously discussed - would prefer vaccine to be
         shipped via MAC on the weekly blood flight. (McGuire - Germany -
         Dhahran) Would like two team members to accompany vaccine. Boxes
         will be packed with loose wet ice which is good for 48 - 72 hours.
         Ice will probably need to be added in Germany, therefore ice needs
         to be made available on stopover.      Coordination will need to be
         made with the 32nd MEDSOM to meet flight and arrange transportation
         for the vaccine to their refrigerated storage.
               Future shipments of vaccine scheduled to arrive Ft. Detrick on
         11 Sep 90, 16 Sep 90 and 1 Oct 90.          Each shipment will have
         essentially the same weight and cubic footage as the above
         shipment.

         2. SUPPLIES (Palletized) Total # of pallets - 6
                                      Total Cubic Feet     - 260
               Total weight - 2304 pounds (Includes 50 lbs per empty pallet)

               One pallet alcohol wipes - 30 cu ft. - 404 lbs.
               Three pallets syringes    - each one - 55 cu ft. - 410 lbs.
               One pallet syringes - 32 cu ft. - 220 lbs.
               One pallet needles - 33 cu ft. - 450 lbs.

               These supplies need to arrive in country prior to or at the
e with
         the 32nd MEDSOM to meet the flight and transport the supplies to
         their location.
               A future  shipment of supplies is scheduled to arrive Ft.
         Detrick on 13  Sep 90. It will be approximately twice as large as
         the above shipment. (ie. approx wt. - 4600 pounds, approx cubic
         footage - 520)

         3.    Vaccine and supplies awaiting first shipment are currently
         being stored at USAMRIID - Fort Detrick, Maryland.
