Supply Element
Supply stations were originally set up on both atolls, Parry station on Eniwetok and Enin-
man on Bikini Atoll In addition to its normal functions, Parry supply was responsible for
shipping, receiving, and recording all supplies and keeping supplies moving to Forward Areas
as required. Eninman station was a base supply, and its function was to maintain sufficient
stocks on hand tn case additional substations were required to cope with the operational situation.
Attebre Eninman supply station was contaminated and was therefore eliminated as a supply point. A sea-going barge was procured and set up as a Rad-Safe Control and
Bupply Station. The construction aboard the barge consisted of two squad tents and portable
salt-water showers. One tent was jointly utilized by control and supply elements; the other
was a dressing and change station. Two transportainers were procured for storage purposes,
and a wooden hot locker was constructed for radiac instruments. The barge was tied up along-
side the USNS Ainsworth during recovery and salvage operations.
A table of equipmentfor this operation was set up and contained a total list of supplies and
equipment for this unit. The majority of items listed therein were shipped from Las Alamos
and processed through J-4. These articles arrived on dates due and in good condition. Military
ttems of issue were placed on LX orders, to be furnished by the Supply Officer of TG 7.2.
Facilities for laundering contaminated clothing at Parry were adequate.
