We propose to observe four neutron star soft X-ray transients (NS SXTs) in outburst to obtain accurate source positions, continuing a successful multi-cycle program in place since Cycle 6. These positions will allow reobservation of this sources in the X-ray, optical, and infrared bands in order to study their quiescent emission. This program will increase the number of known SXTs with good positions, providing a more uniform sample for future work. We will only trigger our program for sources in crowded or obscured fields where a position from another instrument (e.g., Swift) is not sufficiently constraining.
