# wheh the Unit Manning Documents were written, insufficient officer space wo allocations were available, but requisitions remained valid as originally approved. This resulted in assignment of some officers on an overage basis but no major problems arose as a result of such assignments. Concurrent with finalization of airmen manning requirements in May 1957, a requisition was submitted, listing skills required and desired in-place dates. This included those 4950th positions which are manned only during an overseas test period (i.e. MCU, Liaison Supply, etc.). For the most part, personnel requested were in place per established schedule. During the course of the Task Group 7.) Logistics Conference in October 1957, brief mention was made of the probable future need for placing levies upon units participating in Operation HARDTACK forpersonnel to augment the field maintenance activities, and to support supply rollup operations. Such levies would only be for people who could not be provided from within Task Group 7.4 resources. In December 1957, a review of maintenance man hour requirements, as submitted by each element in Task Group 7.) revealed that approximately 162 specialists in various maintenance areas would be needed in the EGP over and above those which could be provided from within the 950th. On the basis of these requirements, levies were placed on Headquarters MATS, CINCSAC, AFSWC and other agencies, for personnel to report to the Eniwetok Proving Grounds 1 March 1958. Some difficulty was encountered in implemen- tation of this program, and it is believed that earlier identification of maintenance personnel requirements would be desirable in future test planning. Personnel for the supply roll-up were procured in the same manner as were the maintenance specialists, reporting 1 July 1958. 43 AFWL/HO
