Interview, 26 July 1991; Franks Interview, 12 April 1991. Poor staff
work at this stage of the operation reflects the exhaustion of the
personnel in each of the command posts. The 1st Infantry Division’s
TAC, for example, had been controlling the division’s operations,
with only marginal help from the division’s small Jump
Tactical Operations Center, for almost four days. Most of the division’s
main command post was still on the move in the middle of
Iraq. It would not be set up and operational until six hours after
the cease-fire on 28 February.
