S. Army soldiers. Two investigatns vere initiated shortly after the attack. One focused on Patriot operations and the other on actions taken at the barracks that was attacked. The investigation of Patriot operations concluded that an inexact computer sofare calculation is the most likely explanation as to why the battery did not effectively detect or track the incoming Scud. A similar problem of this nature was first documented on February 20 after analysis of an earlier Scud enggement. The four days of continuous operation by the battery, caused by increased day and night Scud activity, are thought to have compounded this software problem. Updated software fixing this problem and containing other improvemts arrived at the battery's location on February 26. The investigation of the barracks concluded that Scud attack procedures were properly followed. More specifically, upon warning of a potential Scud attack, soldiers had inructions to go inside or get under cover in either concrete bunkers or bomb shelters, if available, and to put on helmets and chemical protective gear. It was impossible to determine precisely how much warning time the soldiers ha but it appears that they were alerted approxi- mately 30 seconds prior to the Scud's impact. Both U. S. and Saudi emergency medical response was timely. The investigation of Patriot operations was conducted in theater by fficers from the 11th Air Defense Artillery Brigade. An independent technical review from the Patriot Project Office at Redstone Arsenal concurred with the findings of the investigation. Six Patriot batteries were located inhe Al Jubayl-Dhahran- Bahrain area. Two were positioned to engage this Scud missile. One of these batteries was out of action for repair of a radar receiver. The remaining battery was operational and prepared to engage an incomingcud missile. -More- -2- The operational battery was positioned to fire in the automatic mode against Scuds threatening an area surrounding the Dhaan air base. Scuds threatening outside of this protected area but within the Patriot's engagement capability could also have been engaged manually. The barracks was located in this manual engagement zone. Because the Scud was not ffectively detected or tracked by the radar, engagement in the manual mode was precluded. The investigation reconstructed the circumstances of the Scud attack and evaluated the possibility of Patriot hardware, software, or operor error. Based on diagnostic checks conducted before and after the attack, hardware failure was ruled out. Operator error was also eliminated as a cause based on a review of Patriot crew procedures. The Army deeply rrets the loss of life and extends its sympathy to the families of those who died or were injured.

DOD NEWS BRIEFING FOR TUES. JUNE 4, 1991 DoD News Briefing Tuesday, June 4, 1991 - on Mr. Bob Hall, DASD (Public Affairs) Mr. Hall: We have a visitor with us today, Mr. Paolo Valpolini from Milano, Italy. He's a freelance reporter for two Italian monthly publications on military affairs and contributing editor to Spanish and Austrian govern- ment military publications. Welcome. I've got some information on where you get credentials for the Washington and New York parades. (Laughter) In Washingto the credentials may be requested for all events associated with the national victory celebration on June 8th by calling (202) 347-9019 between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Creden- tials get picked up at the office at 1450 G Street, NWSuite 330, June 5, 6 or 7. In New York, they can be obtained from the New York Police Department, Public Information Department, at 1 Police Plaza, New York, New York, (212) 374-6700. Deadline for credentialing is tomorrow, but w're told that late credentialing may be possible. Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney announced today that the President has nominated Major General Ronald H. Griffith, United States Army, for reassign- ment as Inspecto General, Office of the Secretary of the Army, Washington, D.C., and appointment to lieutenant general. He is currently assigned as Commanding General, 1st Armored Division, United States Army, Europe, and 7th Army. He's held th position since October 1989. That's all I have in terms of announcements. Q: Can you give us a rundown on the arms sales which the Secretary discussed on the plane today? A: I don't really he too much to add to what he's been talking about on the trip out there. He talked about the F-15's for Israel. Q: Let me refine that to UAE? What can you give us on that? A: Nothing specific. We have been discuing with a number of countries in the region their security requirements. I really don't have anything to add to what he said on the plane. This is something we've been discussing with Congress, but we haven't sent any formal notfication up on it, so I'm not at liberty to discuss it further. Q: Do you have anything on the impact on the Pentagon of the cancellation of the space station? A: My understanding is that beyond supporting the overa national space program, which the space station is part of, we don't have any specific involvement in the space station. Q: Would it make any difference to DoD or national security...? A: DoD is, obviously, a heavuser of space. Of course there are also technological spinoffs, but in terms of specifically the space station, I don't think we have any particular involvement, so it would be hard to say. There's no direct involvement. But clely, what happens in terms of the overall space program affects the Department of Defense. Q: There have been protests by Kurds who are unhappy, apparently, about the U.S. departure (inaudible). Will this affect the timing f the U.S. presence in the area? What kind of affect is this having on...? A: I think it would be hard to say. The effort, of course, is one, to get the refugees back to their homes and in an environment where they have a feing of security. The incidents over the weekend, I know that the people at the Military Command Center talked to both the Iraqis and the Kurds about it, and the need for peaceful resolution of these problems, but whether it will elay or affect our future plans, I think it's too early to say. Q: You're going to try to get a kind of guarantee, if that's possible, that the violence between the Iraqis and Kurds won't break out again? What if the Kurds re to tell you, don't leave, even if they are all back in their towns? A: Our effort, obviously, is to prevent further violence. We're trying to persuade both sides that it's in their mutual interest not to provoke further iolence. Whether we'll be successful with that, I just don't know. Q: Are you prepared today to talk about the defection of an Iraqi nuclear scientist? A: I don't have anything for you. Q: Do you have any esmates on the extent of the damage to Iraq that resulted during the war, and the latest estimates of how much it's going to cost to repair all that destruction? A: Not really. There are several variables at play. One, if you're talking about purely military things, we don't want to see a lot of this reconstituted. One of the aspects of the President's initiative is to prevent Iraq from redeveloping that kind of military capability that threens its neighbors. So I don't know how you put a cost estimate on something you don't want to see happen. In terms of the purely civilian economic infrastructure that was taken down because of its use for the military, I've seen vious estimates. I'm not sure you could say any one is more reliable than the others. Q: Are you confident, still, that the coalition campaign to take out the nuclear facilities, research facilities, was total and complete? A: I don't think we've ever maintained that it was total or complete. Obviously, I feel comfortable that they don't have the capability of producing nuclear weapons now. But I think part of what we're trying to do is make sur they don't recover that ability. That's why we want to keep the sanctions in place. That's what the President's initiative is about. The IAEA has gone to inspect there, they're going to be reporting back. I think they may go agn, it's my understanding that it's part of an ongoing process to prevent them from developing a nuclear weapon. Q: Do you have some comments for us on the Journal stories about the Navy's mismanagement of aviation? I think the problems with naval aviation are well known. You've been briefed on that extensively here. I don't have anything particularly new to say about it. Q: Are you prepared to correct it? A: To tell you the ruth, I didn't read the story in great detail. There are people who are concerned about it. Secretary Garrett, Secretary Cheney are both concerned about it. I think everybody feels that Secretary Garrett is doing very good job of trying to get a grip on these problems. But as we move into the future, this is going to be one of the big issues. The A-12 program, you've been well briefed on the situation on that. Q: Anything n on the role of women in combat? A: Not particularly, no. Q: Any comment on the Base Commission coming out with its own "menu of options" that's going to double the number of bases? Does this complicate the whole thg for the Pentagon? A: No, I don't think so. Q: Were you asked about it beforehand, or consulted about the bases on the new list? A: Was I? No. No, the Commission, under the law, there are certain procedureto be followed the way it was set up. We give them a list. They do an analysis of that list based on the force structure and the selection criteria that we announced earlier. Their responsibility is to do that analysis. They pesent a report to the President giving their analysis and basically passing on the list. As part of that process, they can make sugges- tions for additions or deletions to that list based on how they feel about what kind of a job did in terms of meeting the criteria and matching it with the force structure. The next part of the process is, after that list is presented to the President, obviously the Secretary and the President and others will consult abo the list, and the President will decide whether he wants to submit that list to Congress. Q: As an intermediate step, the Commission is going to review that new list, and I assume they would take input from the Pentagon ato whether you think their additions are good, bad, or indifferent. Is the Pentagon prepared to give any kind of high level policy statement on their additions, or are you going to sit back and be neutral in this process? A: We've submitted our list. That's our list, that's the Pentagon's list. Now they're looking at not only our list, but they're looking at the overall structure of bases. They will have a lot of questions. When they go arnd and do hearings on those particular bases -- these new ones -- they're going to have to ask a lot of questions which we'll have to answer. But our list is our list. So we don't really have any comment on their additions. e next part is where they come out in terms of their overall list to the Presi- dent. Q: When you say you have no comment, you're not prepared to defend or resist their addition of... A: We think our list is a god one, the one we presented originally. That was the one we think is the best one. But under the law, the Base Closure Commission has the right to do an analysis of that list, make additions or deletions from that list, based on whher they think that list matches up with the force structure and meets the selection criteria. Q: Even if the Department of Navy decides not to add the new homeports, we know they're going to close down existing ports -- ey decide to go ahead with the new ones -- and the Commission has decided to take a look at those. You have no objection to that? A: No objection to what they're doing. Whether we will agree with the list that they actuallyubmit if they make changes in it, that's a different issue. We, obviously, presented our list and think that's the one that makes the most sense. By implication, we think those (bases) are the ones that should be presented to th President by the Commission. But the process allows the Commission to look beyond that -- in their analysis they make judgments about how good a job we do on matching up the force structure and the selection criteria. Q Has the Navy made any specific comments about the observation that, with the new list, they had about twice as many bases as everybody else combined? A: I haven't heard any comment from the Navy. Press: Thank you. =================
