J3-DDH-E136

3 July 1958

Total capability for billeting exists but some adjustment will be necessary
between officers and enlisted spaces since the 150 observers will probably
require the best space available,

Col Loveless pointed out that equipment would not be evacuated,

Also discussed was operation of copters on BOXER. TG 7.3 stated no
requirement exists for shore control. Copters will work from BOXER JOC.
The meeting ended by Col Loveless stating that he realized detailed planning
could not be performed here and that J-3, JTF SEVEN would be operational at

Johnston by Sunday 6 July. He does want everyone to start thinking about the

detailed plans and to get in touch with the JIF S£VEN evacuation officer to

discuss problems as JTF SEVEN will be controlling the exercise very closely
in view of General Luedeckes' announced interest re personnel remaining ashore.
A rehearsal is planned for TEAK on approximately 21 July and possibly one

later for ORANGE.
