FORT BRAGG - Today President Bush will tour the 82nd Airborne Division barracks where a paratrooper's father shot video of substandard conditions, including sewage standing in a bathroom.

A division spokesman said Wednesday that the barracks' current condition has "vastly improved" since the video was posted online a few weeks ago. The spokesman, Maj. Tom Earnhardt, said Bush will tour the barracks during his visit to Fort Bragg, where he is also scheduled to make remarks at a parade and attend a memorial service.

The video by Ed Frawley of Menomonie, Wis., spurred a widespread examination of conditions at Army barracks. Frawley said at the time he hoped to draw attention to the barracks where his son, Sgt. Jeff Frawley, went after returning from a 15-month tour with C Company, 2nd Battalion, 508th Parachute Infantry Regiment.

Ed Frawley didn't immediately return a telephone message seeking comment.

The video showed mold, peeling paint, a broken toilet seat and a bathroom drain plugged with sewage. The video also showed a soldier standing in a sink and using a plunger to try to unplug the mess.

Officials said that the soldiers came back to their home base three weeks ahead of schedule and that the barracks had been empty except for a brief period while the company was away. Officials also said new barracks were being built at Fort Bragg to replace the remaining Korean War-era barracks constructed in the 1950s.

Army Secretary Pete Geren said earlier this month during a visit to Fort Bragg that the Army cared about soldiers' living conditions. Geren said the Army has appropriated $248 million in emergency money to fix problems found during inspections of 148,000 rooms at bases worldwide over the past two weeks. The funds included $2.9 million for repairs at Fort Bragg.

After the inspection was completed, the Army said, it would immediately repair barracks at eight locations -- including Fort Bragg. Officials said they found that 45 repairs needed priority attention, including new heating and cooling equipment, repainting, mold removal and other work.

The other Army installations that will get priority attention are Fort Polk, La.; Fort Gordon, Ga.; Fort Stewart, Ga.; Fort Lewis, Wash.; the U.S. Military Academy at West Point in New York; Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland, and Tripler Army Medical Center in Hawaii.

So far, the Army has had to relocate 13 soldiers in order to make the needed repairs.
