Troops prepare for Somalia • WASHINGTON (AP) — The bulk of U S. troops may not gel ashore In Somalia until days after a Marino vanguard lands because of poor condi tions at Mogadishu's port and nearby airfields. Pentagon officials said Monday. Bringing nearly 30.000 soldiers into a country that has been devastated by warring bandit clans requires a massive effort, especially since no sup plies of fuel or water exist, nor modem moans to transport them, the officials said "Expectations are pretty high, but people have to understand how difficult it will be to get in there." said one senior military officer "Wo can drop thousands of men on the air fields, but who's going to food 'em after a while?" said a second officer Both commented only on condition that thoir names not be used Plans now rail for the first wave of several hun dred Marines to enter Mogadishu ourly Wednes day to begin "Operation Restore Hope" aimed at saving thousands of Somalis from starvation Their mission will be to lake control of the port and the international airfield in Mogadishu, and another airport in Baldoa. a famine-wracked town 200 miles to the west. The Marines, backed by their three amphibious warships, carry onough supplies to sustain them selves for at least 30 days. But it will be several days before their fellow Marinas from (amp Pnndloton. (^alif., begin to take off for Somalia And it will bo several more after that before members of the Army's light in fantry from Fort Drum. NY. will begin leaving tho United States, the officers said President-elect Clinton, when asked in Chicago if he had a plan to deal with Somalia, said, "Pres ident Bush is in charge of this mission Lot's let the mission be carried out.” During the Persian Gulf War build-up. U S. forces made use of modern technology at ports and bases in Saudi Arabia that had been built years earlier. They wore able to lap into an elaborate supply system and get all the oil and gas they needed, of ficers said But in Somalia, they said, moving supplies inland will mean trucking them and maybe even building roads At the Mogadishu seaport and airport, whore U S cargo ships and planes arc to unload, an im mediate problem is lack of lighting, senior Navy officers ut the Pentagon said. Navy Seabees wore heading there to install lighting so the cargo han dling doesn't have to stop at night, said the offi cers. They, too, briefed reporters on condition they not be identified by name. The port is relatively shallow and could pres ent difficulties to the huge U S. supply ships heading there As for air traffic, officers said they hoped to got a control system running and clear enough space near the airports so planes could fly in, unload and take off In a steady stream.
