Operations:
The operational aspects of the »orogram
heve been well thought out and will be rehearsed thoroughly
before shot time.
The scientific nrersonnel will be kent out
of the field and wil’ be resronsible only for placing the
biological meteriels in insulating liners which will then be
distributed st the vroner stations end collected by conpetent
military tesems.
There will be five 5-man recovery teams,
each
with & monitor from General Cooney's outfit thet will be
resconsible for placing and collecting the liners.
Only two

Le Roy will be ina

and with the beach master.
The problem of recovery of biological

“he station design
provides for alternate methods of recovery of material in
