Actual strength attained during the operationel phase
proved to be approximately 95 per cent of the estimate made in August
1955.
The total number of quarters requested in all camps, except Parry
and Enyu, exceeded the total estimated population for the camps by about
10 per cent, The excess was required to permit a few personnel who moved
frequently between locations to have permanent quarters in two camps.
Parry and Enyu Islands were considered base camos for their respec-
tive atolls, and accordingly permanent space at these camps was requested
for all personnel temporarily living at camps on other islands. This proved
espectally bencficial when the temporary camps were no longer habitable
and it was necessary to billet all personnel on Parry or Enyu.
