Coordinated Inter-Island Airlift Operations.

Coordinated Inter-Atoll Airlift Operations.
CTG 7.4 will provide
an inter-atoll airlift system between ENIWETOK and BIKINI ATOLLS
with flights to other atolls in the forward area as required to
support joint task force elements. Using agencies will be required
to submit requirements well in advance to permit proper scheduling.
Subsequent to the last shot at BIKINI, the ENIWETOK-BIKINI service
will be provided by PEM aircraft, taking off from ENIWETOK ISLAND
airstrip and landing in the BIKINI lagoon. Except for MAJURO, which
will be supplied by C-47,: the weather island airlift will be con-
troljed by CTG ott :

The limited availabi-
lity of aircraft to support inter-island airlift operations will
necessitate maximum utilization of all inter-island equipment in the
forward area, To assure maximum utilization and provide efficient
service in support of the overall task force mission, aircraft will
be centrally controlled and dispatched by the commander responsible
(CTG 7.3 at BIKINI and CTC 7.4 at ENIWETOK) for providing the service. Using agencies will be required to plan their movement activities well in advance to permit proper scheduling.

Coordinated Boat Pool‘Operations. Since both crc. 7.3 and cre 7.5
will provide large scale boat pool service at BIKINI ATOLL for multiple using agencies, overall control of this activity by either
task group commander will not be feasible. A joint task force
scheduling panel consisting of representatives of TG 7.3 and TG 7.5
will conduct boat pool operations at BIKINI ATOLL under the direct
supervision of CJTF SEVEN,
Prior to the last shot at BIKINI, the
TG 7.5 boat pool will be evacuated to ENIWETOK at which time CTG 7.3
will assume responsibility for all boat pool operations at BIKINI.
CTG 7.2 and CTG 7.5 will continue to operate their respective boat
