Preview Out of Ammo In Kuwait
No Ammunition in Kuwait Editor’s Note: The following message was sent to Col. David Hackworth from a U.S. Army officer in Kuwait. I am a Major assigned to the [unit name deleted] which is a reserve unit that augments the {unit name deleted] out of Wiesbaden, Germany. I have a couple of observations for you: During the [March 30, 2003 terrorist] incident at UDARI when a local was running over soldiers who were standing in line at the PX with his NTV (non tactical vehicle), a number of soldiers could not respond because they did not have any ammunition for their assigned weapon. [Between 10-15 personnel were injured in the incident.] Yesterday, I had to turn in one of my two magazines for my M9 [Beretta sidearm] because my unit didn't bring enough magazines for everyone in the unit. So right now, I have to venture off base camp with only 15 rounds of 9-mm. ammunition. I have begged the command for some 5 tons to go out to TAA Guardians and Spartans to pick up the bottled water that was left behind when the 3rd ID departed for Iraq. The last time I was at Guardian there was a minimum of 80 pallets of bottled water on the ground. We seem to have deployed to this theater without the required amount of transportation assets to support the fighting men engaging the enemy. --Quartermaster, Camp Virginia, Kuwait
