...224th Military Intelligence Battalion, from Hunter Air Force Base in Savannah, Ga., is separated from the rest of the compound by triple-concertina barbed wire and signs cautioning would-be intruders that sentries are allowed to use "deadly force." The 224th's activities are to fly OV-1B Mohawk and RU-21J Beechcraft reconnaissance aircraft loaded with surveillance gear over El Salvador and gather information on the movements of F.M.L.N. guerrillas...
...airspace over northeastern El Salvador, U.S. OV-1B MOhawk and RU-21J Beechcraft reconnaissance aircraft based in nearby Palmerola, Honduras, are conducting discreet surveillance missions. The flights, manned by pilots from the U.S. 224th Military Intelligence Battalion, have been under way since last month.

High on the Pentagon's shopping list were two controversial big-ticket items. Some $8.2 billion was earmarked for 34 new B-1B bombers. The 1985 budget also seeks $5 billion to buy 40 MX missiles. Congress provided $6.2 billion for the MX over the past twelve years, but until fiscal 1984, the money was only for development. Also requested: 48 F-15 fighters (at $22 million apiece), 150 F-16s (at $15.1 million) and 720 M-1 tanks (at $2.1 million). There was a new, high-tech entry: $1.8 billion in seed money for President Reagan...
