MISSION: To control all aircraft in the sampling area; to direct F~84 and FB-36 sampling missions as required; to accomplish certain photo~ graphic missions; and to provide required radiological data to the Command Ship. 2. RESPONSIBILITIES 1 The Commander, Test Aircraft Unit, and ‘the Senior Task Group 7.4 Controller, will assure that the provisions of this Annex are carried out. 3. PROCEDURES: &@. On B-Day, the Control RB-36, call sign CASSIDY, will take-off as scheduled in Annex "C" (Aircraft Mission Execution Chart), CASSIDY will climb to H-Hour orbit altitude over FRED and will make wind runs while proceeding from FRED to orbit position. The pilot will call the AOC, call sign DIRTY FACE, on VHF Channel "C", DIRTY FACE will check all modes of IFF and HF air-ground Channel J-410 while CASSIDY 1s proceeding to his assigned H-Hour position as designated in Annex "D" (Aircraft H-Hour Positions and Flight Patterns). DIRTY FACE will maintain control until CASSIDY is approximately 90 miles from Bikini, then instruct CASSIDY to contact the CIC, call sign BOUNDARY TARE on VHF Channel "F" for control. IFF will be squawking wode 2, b. The BOUNDARY TARE Controller will establish radio and IFF con- tact with CASSIDY and provide the aircraft with range and bearing to its assigned H-Hour position, to perform cloud measurement photography, Details of this mission will be supplied by Task Group 7.1. CASSIDY will hold at ‘this position with BOUNDARY TARE providing range and bearing information, as required, from ground zero. At H~Hour, cloud measurement photographs will be accomplished. Rendezvous of CASSIDY and STABLE ONE (1) will be accomplished by BOUNDARY TARE through radar control on VHF Channel "F",. CASSIDY will then proceed on its primary mission. STABLE ONE (1) will remain on "Ft Channel, showing mode 2 IFF. BOUNDARY TARE will provide each element of F-84 samplers, call sign TIGER RED, WHITE, or BLUE, with range and bearing . to CASSIDY on VHF Channel "F", When TIGER aircraft are within radar range of CASSIDY, the BOUNDARY TARE Controller will notify the CASSIDY Rendezvous Controller, call sign CASSIDY CQNE, the TIGER element's relative position. Continuous positions will be given to both CASSIDY ONE and TIGER aircraft until CASSIDY ONE makes positive radio and IFF contact with TIGER air~ crait, CASSIDY ONE will then assume control. CASSIDY ONE will turn control of the TIGER element over to sampler Controller, call sign CASSIDY TWO, on VHF Channel "E", sampling mission. CASSIDY TWO will direct the TIGER aircraft Upon completion thereof, CASSIDY TWO will instruct the TIGER elément to return to "F" Channel and call CASSIDY ONE. CASSIDY ONE will rendesvous the TIGER element and give the lead aircraft a bearing and range to BOUNDARY TARE or DIRTY FACE, maintaining control until BOUNDARY TARE or DIRTY FACE establishes radio and IFF contact with TIGER aircraft and accepts positive control, TASK GROUP 7.4.
