(b) instrument and record recovery. (c) removal of test aircraft and test panels for survey purposes and decontamination studies. (d) tactical decontamination of each ship, both above and below decks. (e) final preparation of each ship for participation in the next test. The diagrams on page V and VI form a schematic concept of the basic operating situation during the event. The diagram on page VII illustrates the basic operating situation after reboarding. 1.262 Scope of Operations This operation will involve the accomplishment of a number of scientific and technical field studies on: ship countermeasures; air- craft and limited surface test panels; the preparation, movement and control of the test shivs; the provision of supporting ships and aircraft; and the basing of test personnel on Parry and Eniwetok Islands. For planning pur- poses, participation will be limited to three shots: Shots 1, 3, and 5. Changes and additions to this scnedule may come about if adequate contamination is not obtained on any run or if experimental work following a run prevents turnaround in time to participate as scheduled. Organizations participating are the sureau of Ships, the U. S. Naval Radiological Defense Laboratory, the Bureau of Supplies and Accounts, the Army Corps of Engineers, and the Army Chemical Corps. The Army studies are identified in Task Group 7.1 as Project 6.5 and will be included inthe 6.4 operation plan as one of the ten test problems to be conducted aboard the TRANSIT ships. Personnel required include approximately 50 technical personnel and 165 naval personnel that comprise the crews of the two drone ships, the control plane, and the fleet tugs. ject 7.3 will provide a working party of 500-1000 men. 1.5 Pro- Purpose of TRANSIT BLUE BOOK 1.3.1 To provide data on the overational and logistical requirements of CASTLE Project 6.4 and 6.5. ® roject 1.3.2 P To provide a firm basis for schedulinz and instructing personnel. oo ST, LOUIS FRC 1.3.3 To initiate the preparationand implementation of supplementary technical annexes. 009521 eee 2
