of Lee, located at FRED.
This office controlled the movement of aircraft
through the use of two-way radio with the aircraft and telephone and radio
circuits with each of the passenger and cargo agents on all the up-atoll
airstrips.
The EAOO knew the precise location and status of each aircraft at
all times and was in a position to give the best feasible service to all customers.
During the operation the long range construction program at Eniwetok
was reviewed and amended to reflect the projected needs of Task Group 7.4
for future test operations in the EPG.
A similar review was conducted of
the unit manning documents of each of the units assigned to the 950th
Test Group (Nuclear) in order that future manning documents would reflect
the experience gained during HARDTACK.
:
The support rendered to Task Group 7.4 by other task groups was outStanding.
Although the construction program lagged behind schedule prior
to the operation, most of the delays were beyond the control of Task Group
7-5 and all of the essential facilities were completed prior to the beginning
of the operational phase itself.
The housekeeping support required of the
Army's Task Group 7.2 was entirely adequate in every respect.
