 drawn through the Aeromedical Staging Facility. The RAECE
 was tasked to resupply all medical kits which transited it.
 The Aeromedical Staging Flights were required to manifest,
 using DD Form 601, patients with CONUS destinations.
 Southwest Asia patients were to be regulated through
 coordination between USCENTAF JMRO AND USEUCOM JMRO. A
 sub-JMRO was collocated with the RAECE. Patients were to be
 regulated to CONUS hospitals or discharged after medical
 review at the contingency hospitals. Flight surgeons were
 assigned to the RAECE and were to accompany patients on
 approximately 80% (later reduced to 33% due to having an
 insufficient number of flight surgeons) of the aeromedical
 evacuation missions. Various channel aeromedical evacuation
 missions were planned to be supported as required by
 retrograde aircraft.
 
 3. Significant activities. The Ramstein AECE coordinated
 all aeromedical evacuation activities in the Ramstein area
 in support of Operation Desert Storm. It was responsible to
 configure C-141 aircraft and staff them for aeromedical
 evacuation mission bringing patients from the Southwest
 Asia theater of operations, configure C-141 aircraft which
 originated at Ramstein and which picked-up patients and
 medical crews in the United Kingdom, received aeromedical
 evacuation missions staffed with medical crews staged from
