felt that the recommended time (1/2 hour) to erect one inflatable and one expandable is impractical because of the fixed status of the unit and inability of personnel to become proficient in this exercise. A period of one hour is more reasonable. The lesson learned from this exercise was that a surgical hospital (MUST) is capable of relocating a portion of its facilities to a new site and becoming operational while it continues to operate the base element. As the U.S. effort in the Republic of Vietnam has shifted to improvement and modernization of Republic of Vietnam Armed Forces (RVNAF), brigade units have become involved in on-the-job training for RVNAF units. The purpose of this training is to teach new skills or upgrade existing ones. The programs conducted are ones that are not normally available or are beyond the capabilities of the RVNAF school system. The following is a list of OJT programs which have been conducted by brigade units and the type of training provided: (Note 1) CMS=Central Materiel Services (sterile supplies) S-3 Plans The primary area of planning during 1969 was centered around Keystone Eagle and Keystone Cardinal Intensive planning conferences were held prior to implementation of both redeployment phases. A major working document was published by the brigade headquarters on 20 September 1969 as Operations Plan 183-69. This plan was designed for Keystone Cardinal but was written to allow changes for subsequent redeployment actions. The CG, USARV appointed a USARV Redeployment Assistance Team (URAT) to assist smaller units in the necessary roll-up activities for units redeploying from Vietnam. A member of the brigade headquarters accompanied the team when it visited medical units. Several contingency plans were updated during the year as the result of changes in the brigade force structure. One major plan involved the rapid deployment of two surgical hospitals (MUST). During the year several surgical hospitals turned in their MUST equipment to depot stocks. This action occurred when the hospitals relocated to fixed type facilities vacated by other redeploying hospitals. A comprehensive study was completed in early summer 1969 regarding several major command and control elements of the brigade. Of the four medical groups, two were located in II CTZ; the 43rd and 55th Medical Groups, respectively. It was felt as a result of this study that one group could adequately provide command and control over brigade units in II CTZ. The 55th Medical Group
