950. ABSTRACT
The support effort L-Division contributed to
Operation REDWING is reported. Information in the body
of the report is presented by section and divided into
Pre-Operational, Operational and Post-Operational
phases. Discussion naturally centers around the
operational phase, emphasizing what went wrong and
suggesting corrective measures. Things that went well
are cited also. All conclusions and recommendations are
incorporated within each section’s presentation, rather
than appearing in one combined array. The Appendix has
useful items of information not normally found together.
