Dear Ms. Cordero,
Happy new year! Thank you so much for your help with our PRA request in November. I was reviewing the records of deployment, and noticed that there are no records of what was deployed (e.g. what launchers, explosives, chemical weapons). Would it be possible for you to provide this? Thanks again,

Good Afternoon,
Thank you for your follow-up. Being that the synopsis reports of the incidents don’t mention the specific type of weapon I am working on seeing if we have any other documents that do. I will let you know what I find as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience.
