Soldier recounts Persian Gulf War experience,
Continued from page 1
We drove along the only high
way that ran north to our posi
tions — Japline Road, which was
built to be used by oil field work
ers going to the field.
Coalition forces convoys
packed the roadway with thou
sands of trucks carrying troops,
fuel, ammunition and military
vehicles.
It was an awesome sight to see
all of this firepower and force
headed in the same direction,
and for the same reason — to de
stroy the madman who had
brought us together and to oust
his army from Kuwait.
At the TAA, we made a com
pany base camp with 360 degree
security. Each of the three pla
toons set up cots and heaters in
side of large tents. These pro
tected us from the heavy rains
and cold winds of late January.
Being less than 100 kilometers
from the Kuwaiti border and
Iraqi troops, we did much guard
duty.
We didn't get our first mail un
til the end of the month. They
were mostly old Christmas
cards. Being well outside of
AM/FM radio range, the only
news we got about the war came
from outdated Stars and Stripes
newspapers.
Overall, we were clueless as to
how the war was going on
around us. The only sure thing
was that hundreds of bombers
and their fighter escorts were
roaring overhead daily, heading
north.
At least we knew the air cam
paign was going strong, but
there was never a doubt that a
ground assault would be nec
essary to win decisively the war
and push Iraq out of Kuwait.
We just trained hard and
prayed that an Iraqi anti-tank
missile or T-72 tank round didn't
come ripping through our turret
when we attacked.
We prepared ourselves by
practicing tank gunnery, desert
navigation and attack formation
drills. We even did two 100-plus
kilometer roadmarch rehearsals
to get our men and machines re
ady for the long drive into Iraq.
We had no idea what we
would face across the border,
but everybody worked hard and
helped each other so we could all
go home together.
As February rolled around,
the rain slowed down, but the
sand storms started. They would
usually hit right after lunch, cre
ating a thick wall of dust that
would limit visibility to 25 feet.
Sand would get into every
thing, so once the storms died
down, we would perform long
hours of maintenance to clean
engine filters, battery cables,
crew compartments and weap
ons.
Surprisingly, there were very
few gripes about these cleanup
times, because it had to be done
to keep our equipment rolling
and ready for action.
The M1A1 tank handled the
harshness of the desert, despite
what critics said in media re
ports. This was not due to any
feat of high technology or the
machines themselves.
It came from a constant factor
that has kept this country free
for 114 years now — the Ameri
can soldier. Paying particular de
tail to good, thorough mainte
nance sessions made our huge
armored assault upon Iraq a suc
cess.
You can have the best war ma
chines in the world, but it takes
good men to make them work.
Our proud soldiers deserve the
credit for the speedy five-day
ground war, because they made
it happen.
In mid-February, we moved
up to our forward assembly area
(FAA), which was now b
Iraq, in the neutral zone, ju
miles from the enemy.
Here we did last minute pr t
combat inspections — boresigl
ing our guns, uploading all at
munition, storing tank petr;
leum products and packitj
necessary uniforms, toiletiif
food and water. All gear it;
needed for combat was stored:
a logbase.
During our week at the FAi
we received our wartime open
tions order, maps and graph:

sued the order to his men, at

"It is now generally acknowl
edged, both nationally and lo
cally, that teaching programs
need more attention if our edu

teaching program requires
continuing nourishment and the

Other recommendations made
by the task force include:
□ The University should pub

of each mission and the manner
in which missions are seen to in

□ The University should en

view toward emphasizing more

community;
□ The University should ini

the quality of the graduate stu

accepted by its programs;
□ The University should un

□ The University should in

improve its policies on the use
and recognition of lecturers as an

Schultz said this trip incorpo

"Our purpose on this planet is
to make this a better and more

serve others," he said.
"The only way we can do that
is if we understand who we are,

special session begins July 8.
Mobley also reiterated his pre
diction that tuition will increase
this fall, possibly to $32 per
credit hour for Texas residents
and $160 per hour for non-resi
dents.
The most frequently men
tioned proposal for tuition is $32
an hour, but former Gov. John
Connally's Task Force on Reve
nue has recommended a tuition
increase to $40 an hour.
Tuition already was set to in
crease this fall to $20 an hour for
residents and $122 for non-resi
dents.
But Mobley said the probable
tuition hike is not as bad as it
sounds since Texas is ranked
near the bottom of the 50 states
in cost of higher education.
"It's still a bargain," he said.
The president quickly added
that he does not support a tu
ition increase if all it is used for is
to decrease the amount of gen
eral revenue from the state.
If the Legislature does pass a
bill this summer authorizing a
sizable tuition increase, about 12
percent more money will be set
aside for financial aid.

ZAGREB, Yugoslavia (AP) — The republics of
Croatia and Slovenia declared independence
from Yugoslavia on Tuesday, but the federal
parliament issued an urgent appeal for army in
tervention to prevent the dismemberment of the
country.
Unless a compromise can be found, the decla
rations threatened to inflame longstanding eth
nic tensions, worsen Yugoslavia's grave eco
nomic problems and even plunge the nation
into a civil war.
The proclamations said each republic was no
longer part of Yugoslavia, a patchwork of six re
publics and 24 ethnic groups that has periodi
cally exploded in bloody factional fighting since
its founding in 1918.
The Marxist-oriented government of Serbia
and its allies bitterly oppose the independence
of the Croats and Slovenes, who have adopted
more market-style economic systems and are
more prosperous. About one-third of Yugosla
via's 24 minion people live in the two republics.
Beils m Zagreb's Catholic churches rang and
people uncorked champagne in front of the Par
liament building. Inside, legislators roared their
approval as Croatian President Franjo Tudjman,
a fiery nationalist, defiantly announced seces-
