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.
On Monday. Navy F-14 fighters from the air
craft carrier USS Ranger flew reconnaissance mis
sions over Mogadishu, gathering information
about sites where the Marines are expected to
land, a Pentagon sourco said
Ambassador-at-Large Robert Oakloy and Ma
rine Corps Brig Gen. Frank Llbutti were to meet
in Mogadishu with Somali clan leaders to brief
them on what the Marines will do after thoir
landing, said Pentagon spokesman Lt. Cmdr. Jo
seph F. Gradishor.
‘Daddy has to help
the starving people’
CAMP PENDLETON, Calif- (AP) — Explaining “why Dad
dy is going to Somalia" was the hardest mission Sgt. Lee
Cook, a 10-year veteran of the Marine Corps, says he has ever
*l"jdstarted preparing them six months ago. telling them
there was a possibility that Dad might have to go over there
to help those children, the starving people." Cook said. The
hither of a 6-year-old boy and 4-year-old girl, Cook handles
aviation ammunition at the Marine Air Corps Station in Tus
tin. about 35 miles south of Los Angeles
"The kids, they see the pictures on television, so 1 tell them
tint's who I'm going to be helping,” he said. ”1 think they un
demand.'’
Cook, 31, is assigned to the 1st Marine Expeditionary
Porce. headquartered at Camp Pendleton. President Bush on
Friday called up 16.000 members of the unit to secure Soma
lia's major ports and airports and to help deliver famine aid
now being stolen by roving armed gangs
Cook spent Saturday morning taking his son, Terry, to ka
rate lessons, and in the afternoon ha put up Christmas lights
.at home si 6-yssr-oW Tony ind 4-y«r*old Rscqusl wsichsd.
Cook expects to be called at any time. He worries that his
wife, Staff Sgt. Detra Cook, could also be sent to Somalia.
If that happens the children would go to Detra's parents'
house In nearoy Riverside.
Arrival of
food may
end gangs
ATLANTA (AP) — U N Soc
rolary-Gonoral Boutros Boutros
Ghali sold Saturday ha was op
timistic U S forces could re
store order quickly in Somalia
and allow the United Nations
to begin to nogotiato a political
true*.
But he acknowledged he
didn't know how long it would
take to stabilize the war-torn
east African nation
"It depends on the situation
on the ground," he said
Speaking after a two-day con
ference on global development
at the Carter Center, Boutros

that gangs blamed for looting
famine relief food will quickly
lose power once the U N. forces

lia.
"When we will be able to dis
tribute the food, the groups will
disappear." he said.
