1,
A thorough review of the personnel situation at Eniwetok
and of pest procedures used for manning the 4951st indicates that
most of the previous difficulty encountered was caused by inadequste
control of personnel manning actions,
The need for immediate action
to establish rigid manning controls for this unit is arparent, All
manning actions related to this unit consequently are now being monitored by this headquarters to insure that procedures are effective
and that manning is timely and adequate. However, it is not intended
that the direct responsibility for manning the 4951st be changed.
.
This is, and should continue to be, the responsitMlity of Air Force
Special Weapons Center.
2,
It is recommended that immediate action be taken to designate
one AFSWC activity as responsible for manning the 4951st,
This -
activity should be responsible for insuring that the records relating
to the'man..ing of the 4951st are maintained on a current and up-to-date
basis at all times and should be the only one authorized to submit
officer and airman requisitions to this headquarters,
3, To relieve the norale problem stemnring from uncertainty |
with respect to the availability of renlacenents, this headquarters
will insure that the unit designated receives 90 days advance notification of arrival of replacements, identifying each with the
specific rosition for which intended. In addition, major Zone of
Interior commands will be aitvised by Headquarters USAF to comply
with so much of AFM 30-3 as requires distribution of orders from
losing organizations in advance of arrival of replacements,
4. This headquarters has established a Kardex system which
reflects the 495lst UMD authorized positions, the names
of individuals
assigned to these positions, DEROS, names and dates of arrival of
scheduled replacements, and other information necessary to insure
that overages and shortages do not develop, This system will remain
in effect at this headquarters until such time as manning controls
