TU-6 Organization

The operational concepts, calling for firing capabilities at both Bikinia

and Eniwetok atolls, demanded a Task Unit organization that provided two

°3

separate and independent rad~-safe groups. Accordingly, separate organiza- ”.
tions were established at Bikini and Eniwetok with over-all control being main
tained by the Commander of TU-6 (CTU-6). The organization at each atoll 3
was similar, varying only with the number of personnel assigned to the var- @
ious sections. Each organization contained the following sections, as shown ||
in the organization chart in Fig. 1.1:
