Abstract:
DURING THE GULF WAR, THE ROYAL SAUDI LAND FORCES HAD A RAPID MOBILIZATION AND MODERNIZATION PROGRAM. THIS INCLUDED THE CREATION OF NBC DEFENSE COMPANIES THAT WOULD SUPPORT EACH GENERAL DEFENSE AREA. THE WAR ENDED BEFORE THE COMPANIES COULD BECOME FULLY OPERATIONAL. THE COMPANIES WERE RECEIVING THEIR EQUIPMENT MONTHS AFTER THE FIGHTING ENDED. THE COMPANIES ALSO BEGAN TO FEESH OUT WITH PERSONNEL AND OFFICERS, BUT THEY FACE SOME SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGES. THEY HAD LITTLE TO NO FORMAL TRAINING ON ANY OF THE EQUIPMENT. FOLLOWING THE WAR, ADDITIONAL MISSIONS WERE ASSIGNED TO THE COMPANIES SUCH AS FIREFIGHTING, WATER TRANSPORT AND CASUALTY EVACUATION. THE LARGE AMOUNT OF MISSIONS, LACK OF FORMAL TRAINING, AND LACK OF PERSONNEL LEFT THE NBC COMPANIES IN THE NEED OF ASSISTANCE. THE USACMLS MTT COULD PROVIDE SOME OF THIS ASSISTANCE, PARTICULARLY IN THE WAY OF FORMAL TRAINING.
