é nie ae, rage, one (1) at 1,500 fect, the other at 10,000 feet. The third photo C-54 was positioned 20,000 feet Southwest of water zero at 9,000 feet. By this means, complete aerial photo coverage was effected. - On 22 June 1958, Project NEWSREEL documentation began at Johnston Island and by 22 July 1958, 70 per cent of all participating programs had been documented. Remote camera installations for motion picture and still photography were positioned and ready for rehearsal and functioned satisfactorily on shot events. Element camera teams documented activities at Waikele Branch, Naval Ammunition Depot, Oahu during the period 11, 12, 13, and 14 July 1958. Participating programs at Hickam Air Force Base, Wheeler Air Force Base, and Barbers Point Naval Air Station were documented during the period, post TEAK event. Four (4) K-24 type cameras with a supply of Ektachrome were positioned near launch pad for technical evaluation purposes as requested by ABMA. In addition to the required coverage for Operation HARDTACK and Project NEWSREEL events, considerable effort was expended in obtaining, for the Bureau of Ships, Department of the Navy, realistic action pictures for their own production, "Nuclear Defense at Sea". This effort required the positioning of cameramen on board four (4) destroyers, and covered various phases, such as gun crews manning battle stations, monitoring and decontamination teams in operation, washdown systems in operation, and operation of a rad-safe center on board the USS RENVILLE. In addition to the realistic action pictures, physical damage to destroyers, submarines, squaw and liberty ship were documented in detail wherever possible. Aerial Documentary Photographic coverage of Operation HARDTACK was not as extensive as that required in previous operations. 143 APHL{HO Prior to
