is largely due to the condition of the buildings - those that are in use are the ones that are in the best repair regardless of location. In the general plan of housing civilian forees on Parry Island ami leaving the entire island of Eniwetok for the military, the present garrison ami any immediate enlargement thereof can be ioused in and serviced through the useable, existing buildings. Some of these buildings may be useable for a longer period than anticipated. In any case, it is contemplated that new structures will be built only as am when needed to replace existing structures as they become unuseable, or as the demands of the gerrison increase and more facilities are required. The ultimate plan which would contemplate complete replacement of existing facilities even- tually, is shown on Plate 14. The buildings contemplated here are also of pre- fabricated aluminum construction, with the same flexibility as to size as those planned for Parry Island. In lieu of any definite figures as to the number and classification of military personnel which will use this island, the site plan has been developed on the basis of two hundred Officers and four hundred tnlis- ted Men. The Officers being housed in buildings similar to those planned for the Scientists on Parry Island, and the Enlisted Men in barracks similar to the dormitories as described above for Parry Island. Space is provided in this layout for expansion either of the Officers' quarters or of the Inlisted Men's quarters, as conditions might dictate. New Administration Building, Mess Hall, Communications Building, Warehouses, Commissary, Recreational Building, and Shop Buildings are provided on this site plan. This being an overall master plan, it will provide locations for buildings as they need to be constructed, so that in the final development a reasonable, logical arrangement will result. Of the existing structures, the present parachute drying build- ing is in good condition and can be used for dry storage. The Administration Building, Mess Hall, Theater, Officers Club, ami some of the warehouses and shop buildings now on the island, may be kept in service by repairs and overall IV = 27
