DIRTY FACE will then instruct the TIGER lead aircraft to return to mode 2. In the event that radio or I™F is inoperative on either aircraft, the two (2) ship element will be instructed by DIRTY FACE to abort mission. With radio and IFF functioning properly, the TIGER element will continue on course to the sampling area and when approximately ninety (90) miles from Eniwetok, DIRTY FACE will instruct them to contact the CIC, BOUNDARY TARE, for control on Channel " Fru ; - b. The EOUNDASY TARE, TIGER Controller, will establish radio and IFF contact with TIGER elements as soon as possible and accept positive control,.
