CHAPTER IV, SECTION 5

SECTION 5
LAND TRANSPORTATION
The vehicles available for land transportation were allocated for specific use and to key
personnel at the various sites according to their
respective requirements. A motor pool at Elmer
was operated which controlled the assignment
of vehicles for short-term usage. This pool was

combined with that of TG 7.1 during the op-

erational phase. A representative from each unit
was assigned to administer his interests in dispatching and controlling the vehicles in the pool.
Daily bus service was furnished at Elmer with
the route passing the main installations. Five

214-ton personnel carriers were used for transporting personnel to and from the Fred airport.
Schedules of these personnel carriers were adjusted daily in accordance with plane arrivals
and departures.
The servicing of all vehicles on Elmer was
under the control of the Holmes & Narver Motor
Pool Dispatcher. Lubrication service was effected at intervals ranging from two to three weeks.
The distribution of light vehicles under
custody of the Contractor during the period of
peak activity is shown in Table 4-16.
