BOTTLENECK FOR THE OPERATION, AS THEY HAVE NO
FACILITIES TO STORE, SERVICE, OR SECURE HEAVY

WOULD BE A DIVERSION OF RESOURCES WITH NO INCREASE
IN OPERATIONAL CAPABILITIES.
5. MG BARIL HAS ALSO REQUESTED THAT THE US PROVIDE
A SMALL AIRFIELD CONTROL PARTY TO SUPERVISE THE
ARRIVAL, OFF LOAD, AND DEPARTURE OF AIRCRAFT
CARRYING THE US APCS, AS WELL AS A SMALL NUMBER OF
APC DRIVERS TO ASSIST WITH MOVING THE APCS WITHIN
THE TRANS SHIPMENT POINT, AND A MAINTENANCE CONTACT
