                                    JULLS LONG REPORT

           1. (U) JULLS NUMBER: 32853-79633 (00293), submitted by RILEY
           AFZN-DL-S, Mrs Walker, 856-"388, (913)239-3388.

           2. (U) Operation DESERT SHIELD conducted by USCENTCOM on 02/06/91.

           3. (U) KEYWORDS: PLANNING, RWO (REAL WORLD OPS), USA (US ARMY),
           ACTIVE COMPONENT, C2 (COMMAND AND CONTROL), ORDERS, LOGISTICS,
           EQUIPMENT, SUPPLY, UNFAVORABLE, AUTHORITY, LEADERSHIP, CRIT2
           (SERIOUS PROBLEM).

           4. (U) TITLE: Logistics: Problems Caused By Units Ordering Direct
           Supplies

           5. (u) OBSERVATION: A general officer from AVSCOM issuing
           instructions to the Aviation Units to order supplies they needed
           for depots.

           6. (u) DISCUSSION: General from AVSCOM spent some time at
           Marshall Army Airfield. He told the aviation units if they need
           it, get it. He encouraged the units to call the depots or NICP
           Emergency Operating Centers (EOC) if they had problems. The
           units took that as permission to order directly from the depots.
            They called requests in to the EDC and +axed pages of request
           to the EOC. They made arrangements to have them shipped by
           aircraft and land at the airfield. They did not go through
           DMMC, 6-3's TUFMIS, or Supply/Services Division's SAILS. Items
           were removed from the aircraft when received by the units and no
           receipt documents were pulled to be processed. We tried to get
           a handle on it by sending two individuals from Supply/Services
           Division out to the airfield.to coordinate with the depot and to
           try to capture any requests that were phoned in. This, of
           course, caused a backlog in the AIMI record keeping, as cards
and still aren't current. The AIMI
           manager and 6-3 TUFFMIS individual compared their lists and went
           through desks and -Files and any where else they could to
           requests. There were many duplicate document numbers that are
           hard to research because they aren't in the computer systems.
           Thes unprocessed receipts contribute to the enormous amount of
           financial intransits now being research and worked by
           Supply/Services materiel category managers.

           7. (u) LESSON LEARNED: Prior planning and coordination in this
           area is necessary to prevent further problems in the
           Supply/Services field.

           B. (u) RECOMMENDED ACTION: That any "assistance" of this type
           be coordinated in advance with the DOL and that Supply/Services
           representatives be included in a team effort to get the
           equipment from the very first day.

           9. (Lt) COMMENTS,    none
