CHAPTER II, SECTION 4

SHOT-ISLAND CAMPS.
Temporary camps were required to house
and sustain construction and operation forces
at Yvonne, Ursula, and Gene in Eniwetok Atoll,
and at Tare and Fox in Bikini Atoll. The designs
of these camps were accomplished in the field,
utilizing standard building drawings whenever
possible. Field Engineers located the standard
buildings on a plot plan with only minor revisions were able to conform to the
requirements
of each camp site. To expedite the planning of
these camps, estimates and bills of material for
typical buildings were prepared; a package-unit
construction plan was formulated which included these estimates, bills of material, and drawings. This procedure proved effective in camp

planning with a minimum of engineering, drafting, and estimating time.
