involving the transfer of one officer and ten airmen from 4950th units to
the Center. Three of the involved airmen were in the 4952n4 Suppart Squad~
ronj the remainder (7) were in Group headquarters.
The consolidation was completed on 1 December 1957, and all personnel
made surplus by the resulting Unit Manning Dooument adjustments were trans—
ferred from the 4950th Test Group.
At least one important Personnel pro~
blen arose from the consolidation: the transfer of 4952nd personnel spaces
to Special Weapons Center, which reduced the capability of Task Group 7.4
to support the Test Base Unit in the Enivetok Proving Ground in the opera-
tion of consolidated Task Group 7.4 Personnel function.
The plan for the
operation of the consolidated Personnel fimction in the Test Base Unit
during HARDTACK was predented to Special Weapons Center in mid-December.
The required personnel were requested for assignment to the 4952nd.
The
Center Deputy Chief of Staff for Personnel agreed to provide the required
Persormmel maming to the 4952nd on an overage basis.
A further aspact of Personnel activity was a manning survey of the
4926th Test Squadron (Sampling), completed on 25 November 1957.
A letter
was submitted by the group to Special Weapons Center listing 13 airmen
spaces vacant or requiring immediate replacement.
The majority of these
spaceswere made vacant by early separation of airmen or by limited retainability requiring reassignment from the 4926th prior to departure of
that unit to the proving ground.
Even though additicnal maintenance per-
sonnel also were needed, the requisition was limited to these 13 spaces,
