Thus, the total number of manual operating In future operations, locations was ratiucedfrom five to fem. the nunber of operating positions could be reduced to three by combining the Harbor Connon with the TG 7.3 CM in one location on PARRY Island. A capability for operating the Harbor Com.on fron the Joint Connunications Center during interim periods should be retained for reasons stated earlier. The establishment of radio ststions on the three islands k. used for radiological monitoring (Wotho, Uterik and Ujelang) was not introduced into the overall planning until very consequence, coordination late.

The contrac- tor, who was to provide camp f~cilities, was not given firn requi?”@ments with the result that no provisions were made for power, for . antenna supports or for transportation of the equipnent to the is&lso, larJ&S9. equipment requirements were placed at a late date$ with the result that final establishment of the stations was barely accomplished by the date required. The operating teams provided by the Southeastern Signal School At Fort Gordon, Georgia, on a tenporary duty tmis, were found to be entirely conpetent. 1. An active Methods and Results section was utilized to accumulate complete traffic engineering data as well as to mke immediate corrections to faulty operating procedures. Detailed traffic engineering reports were submitted in accordance with AR lc5-43. Several general observations may be ride, as fo~cws.
