Synopsis
This section discusses the decisions arrived at in establishing the proving
ground on a permanent basis and the responsibilities of the Joint Task Force
in placing the installation in a standby status. The roll-up of Operation
Sandstone was concerned with Post-Sandstone requirements at the proving
ground involving the establishment of a security garrison; determination of
the types and amount of equipment to be left at Eniwetok and that which
would have to be returned; and the accomplishment of measures necessary
to assure the preservation of the installations of the proving ground. The
normal roll-up of Task Force equipment was accomplished in addition to the
above considerations.
