Aid Station
Pacific Support Division

Field Command

Defense Nuclear Agency

Hickam AFB HI 96553
1.

FCDNA CONPLAN 1-76, revised 15 Sep 76, tasks PACAF to

provide medical services in support of a DNA task force to

clean up debris and radioactivity on Enewetak Atoll.

To

provide this support, a clinic will be established in the

2,000 sq ft space offered in Building 603 on Enewetak Island
and a medical aid station on Lojwa Island.
The USAF Clinic”
has been tasked with administration of this project.
2.

The following civil engineering, communication,

and materiel

support is requested to provide adequate medical facilities on

Enewetak Atoll.
It is our understanding the cost of providing
this support will not be billed to the USAF Medical Service.
a.

“Floor Plan for the Enewetak Clinic and Lojwa Medical

Aid Station.
Partition the 2,000 sq ft area of Building 603
on Enewetak allotted for clinic use into patient care areas
as indicated in the attached sketch.
(See Atch 1).
A building
will have to be provided for the Lojwa medical aid station.
This building should be partitioned and outfitted in accordance
with the floor plan as shown in Atch 2.
b.
Floor.
Existing asphalt tile floor in Building 603
is adequate except that broken and chipped tile should be
replaced.
Our concern is that the floor can be kept clean,
is free of cracks or chipped areas which will trap dirt,
and that it can be washed frequently with a disinfectant
without becoming damaged.
For the Lojwa medical aid station,
an asphalt tile floor over a wood sub-floor is acceptable.
A drain line will have to be installed beneath the floor in
the Enewetak Clinic dental treatment room.
