* Two returned questionnaires from 2-2nd Avn Regt (ASLT) at Camp Stanley, Korea.
Note: The number of reports per month per location corresponds to the number of weather
support questionnaires returned from each location.

innovations.

increase in mission accomplishment that might be derived from four technology
advancements. They are an aircraft deicing technique that would reduce the time
