SECRET SECURITY INFORMATION HISTO:ICAL INSTALLMENT NO. II SECTION I e ORGANIZATION © A. BUILDUP _OF THE TASK GROUP, THE STAFF AND THE BOAT POOL The only significant build-up during this period was the formation of the Task Grouo Commander's Staff. A slight chance developed in the mission of the Navy Task Groun in that all persone nel, including the Firing Party, would require evacuation from ENIWE.. TOK ATOLL during "MIKE" Shot. CinCPacFlt approved the installation of Pydrophones in lieu of Sone-buoys as a harbor defense measure for the Atoll and early in April, initiated a request to Chief of Naval Onerations for the establishment of an Underwater Netection Unit to man the Hydrophone installation. The first officer for the Task Groun Commander's Staff, LCDR A. P. Boileau, SC, USN, reported on 10 March. He was the first of six who had been requested for early reporting (by 1 March). i This early. date was not met, due to a general shortage of officers in the Navy and the short notice (only about two months) given the Bureau of Naval Personnel to vrocure the officers. By 7 April, five of the six officers had revorted and LODR Dedarnatt of CJTF=132 Headquarters Staff had been slated to be the sixth. LCDR DeJarnatt was working in tre Task Grouno Staff on a full-time basis from early March. BEST AVAILABLE COPY 1, CJTF-132 letter to BuPers (via CNO) dated 6 Feb 1952. iaw i
