5.2.4 Transfer of Control to Primary Airborne Control At H minus 5, the P2V5 will be on station above the ships and will assume radio control of Able and Baker. From H minus 3 to H minus 2, the operating parties will remain aboard. During this time, the P2V5 will test control, and proceed to its station for the Transit pnase. This station will be 20 ~ 25 miles crosswind tovard the Task Force (See illustration VI). 5.2.5 Removal” of Able and Baker Operating Parties At H minus 2, uOLALA will remove the operating party fron Aole, and TA AXONI will remove the operating party from Baker. iiOLALA and TA idAKONI will then proceed to a station 20 - 25 miles crosswind toward the Task Force (See illustration VI). 5.5 imergency ueasures These emergency measures apply from the time the P2V5 assumes unguarded radio control (i minus 2) until it returns radio control to HOLALA » 5.3.1 Standby Airborne Control If for any reason the P2V5 is forced to retire or loses radio contact or control of able and Beker, it will communicate this information to BAIRONO (CVE -115). A helicopter with radio control equipment vill proceed from BAIRORO to the P2V5's station and assume control of Able and Bake... If the PeV5 is forced to retire from its station before the arrival of the helicopter, it will place both Able and Baker ona safe crosswind course toward the Task Force, if possible. In either case, the helicopter will continue to direct the ships on the Transit phase courses and maneuvers upon assuming radio control. 5.3.2 Standby Shipboard Control Quis FRC rn ST, LOUIS If the helicopter is forced to retire, or if it fails to arrive on station, it or the P2V5 (depending upon which has control) will vector Able and Beker on a safe course to.rard iWOLALA. When Able and Beker arrive within radio range of HOLALA, she will assume radio control. MOLALA will not attempt to continue directing the ships on the Transit phase courses and moneuvers, but will dir.ct them on a safe course away from the area. 09621 Ci 19 LE
