HISCELLAVECUS:

~

On 18 May (HCLLY ~1 day) a mixup in air transportation started the day off.

Personnel who had indicated on the evacuation and re-entry cards that they
were going up~island did not show for their scheduled flights. Being Sunday
was partly the reason, but the basic problem wes inadeguate verifying of the
information on the cards by the evacuation officer. This check had become
routine after several shots and the Task Unit personnel have been good in
letting us know the changes. Then came the problen. A tremendous nuwaber of
personnel rotated after KCA and the new people did not know what to do.
dn the future, 2 representative from the Tesk Unit vill come to the J-3

office on shot minus two days at approximately 16090 hours to go over his

minus one day cards for final annotation.
(if tney will not come in, we
will contact then.)
{hen an extract of boat and air missions will be made

for HRN and TG 7.4.
