HEADQUARTERS, Joint Task Force SEVEN Washington 25, D. C. 10 November 1953 Annex P to CJTF SEVEN Operation Plan No. 3- BOAT PLAN Following is the allocation of responsibility for normal operation of boats and harbor craft at ENIWETOK and BIKINI ATOLLS during the operational phase of CASTLE: a. At BIKINI ATOLL. As both CTG 7.3 and CTG 7.5 will provide large scale boat pool service for multiple using agencies, overall control of this activity by either task group commander is not considered feasible. Accordingly: (1) A joint task force scheduling panel consisting of represen- tatives from TG 7.3 and TG 7.5 will conduct boat pool operations directly under the supervision of CJTF SEVEN, who will have final responsibility for scheduling control and coordination. (2) The scheduling panel will coordinate schedules. The TG 7.3 member will dispatch Navy boats and the TG 7.5 member will dispatch H&N boats to meet the requirements of using agencies, In order to permit proper scheduling and maximum utilization of small craft, using agencies will be required to plan movement activities well in advance and notify the scheduling panel. Normally, requirements will be submitted to the scheduling panel prior to the day transportation is required. Omnibus and combined trips will be used when practicable. (3) During operations ashore, the scheduling panel will be lo- cated on ENINMAN ISLAND and when the task force goes afloat it will be in the LSD. (4) Prior to Shot #4 (ECHO), certain elements of the TG 7.5 boat pool may be redeployed to ENIWETOK ATOLL. Prior to Shot #7 (KOON), the remaining elements of the TG 7.5 boat pool will be redepioyed to ENIWETOK ATOLL. b. At ENIWETOK ATOLL (1) CIG 7.2 and CTG 7,5 will continue to operate their respec- tive boat pools in accordance with existing procedures, (2) Augmentation of TG 7.2 boat pool operations will be provided by CTG 7.3 and CTG 7.5 if CJTF SEVEN determines that capacity popuation on ENIWETOK ISLAND requires such augmentation. All using agencies will coordinate in the establishment of a priority system for boat requirements and apply the system to their re- spective organizations, A scheduling panel will be established at ENIWETOK ATOLL during the ENIWETOK phase of the operation, if required. During periods of evacuation, CUTF SEVEN will establish priorities P-1
