                                   JULLS LONG REPORT

          1. (U) JULLS NUMBER: 10835-31462 (00365), Submitted by RILEY
          AFZN-PTM-C, MSG Potter, 856-2225, (913)239-2225.

          2. (U) Operation DESERT SHIELD conducted by USCENTCOM on 11/05/9C).

          3. (U) il'EYWORDS- REAL WORLD OPERATIONS, U.S. ARMY, ACTIVE
          COMPONENT, NBC, REPORTING, READINESS.

          4. (U) TITLE: Logistics., Unit CDE Inventory Data

          5. (U) OBSERVATION: CDE inventory data received from units
          subordinate to Division was, in many cases, inaccurate.

          6. (U) DISCUSSION., Many Fort Riley units did not take the
          quarterly CDE report required by FR 725-1 seriously. As-a
          result, decisions about the proper use of funds to fill CDE
          shortfalls could not be made without requirina two additional
          iterations, one of them during nondltty hours.

          7. (U) LESSON LEARNED: Accurate submission of quarterly CDE
          Status reports is essential to unit readiness. Command emphasis
          is critical in this process.

          S. (U) RECOMMENDED ACTION: Much additional command emphasis
          must be given. Only the commander must affix his signature to
          the document. Battalion chemical personnel can and must provide
          technical guidance and ceoss-check operations. CDE
          serviceability and accounting Must be treated as if  "Your life
          depended on i@,".

          9. (U) COMMENTS: G3/NBC can and has done Much to help correct
          the problem. CDE reports received from the units are now
          computerized and bumped against a spreadsheet program to verify
          authorization levels. Computer program then computes averages
          and shortages, monitors Cumulative changes in divisional CDE
          stock.- levels, and calculates the funds required to fill unit CDE
          shortages +or MSCs and as well as centrally managed CDE
          shortages for the installation. Original software (IBM) was
          obtained through the Army Shareware Program (C2MUG), and
          modified to meet local needs.
