CHAPTER 2
Personnel Procurement.
On 1 Gctober 1947 Colonel Cooney and Captain Winant began
considering the problems of obtaining personnel for the Radiological
Safety Group,
It was apparent that a small group of experienced
personnel would be needed to conduct the planning, technical, and
operational functions,
These experienced personnel would haveto be
drawn from other important assignments and in general would come
from the AFSWP andAEC, It was decided that this staff group should
be as small as possible in order not to interfere unnecessarily with
concurrent important work,
It was also felt highly desirable that
the majority of the group should consist of graduates of the radio-
logical safety schools at Treasure Island and Edgewood Arsenal.
The
non-staff or monitor personnel would be picked from those having the
best records at the radiological safety schools,
It was desirable
that all branches of the services have representatives in the Radio-
logical Safety Group, thereby each service should benefit by the
experience of the operation.
On 17 October 1947 a memorandum was sent to the J-1 Section,
JTF~7 and constituted the basic request for personnel,
Six officers
and one civilian were requested immediately for the duration of the
operation.
These versonnel, all from Headquarters, AFSP in Washington
were needed to accomplish the planning stage of the operation, and
to form a micleus for the Radiological Safety Group.
In addition,
eight other specially qualified officers were requested by name to
report by 15 January 1948.
Procurement of these officers was given
~
highest priority because of the amount of previous experience each
