Enemy fighters heading in to
territory held by 5th Infantry
Division will likely turn back
or die.
Ill CORPS Air Defense Ar-
tillery together with 5th Infan-
try Division Air Defense Ar-
tillery blanketed the sky with
Hawk Patriot Stinger and
Chaparral missiles and Vulcan
20mm rounds if the enemy
dared to enter division airspace
during Exercise Brilliant Dia-
mond recently.
“This air defense mission
was accomplished in a syner-
gistic fashion” said Maj. Steve
Inada airspace command and
control air defense officer. Ill
Corps’ 31st Air Defense Ar-
tillery Brigade provided the
division with a variety of mis-
sile capabilities.
These assets included the
high missile air defense
(HIMAD) for the Hawk and
Patriot missiles and the short-
range air defense (SHORAD)
with the Chaparral missile.

Uncle Sam
sells surplus
property etc.
American Forces Information Service
The U.S. government sells
hundreds of surplus properties
every year. For example' the
January-March U.S. Real
Property Sales List offers
seven parcels of unimproved
land in Waimanolo Hawaii.
ALSO FOR sale: a two-
story three-bedroom home in
Providence R.I. a residential
subdivision in Broken Arrow
Okla. and 43 properties in the
Miami area including houses
lots and commercial land.
How the government ends up
with the properties is another
story. What’s important to con-
sumers is Uncle Sam wants to
get rid of them. The govern-
ment generally sells surplus
property by competitive sealed
bids or public auction. Prospec-
tive buyers receive an informa-
tion package that describes the
properties and details the bid-
ding process and sale terms
and conditions.

property list and the latest
