In another Personnel action a visit of the Special Weapons Center Ground Safety Officer to Eniwetok in December resulted in a recommenda— tion that an authorization for a Ground Safety Technician should be in= cluded in test requirements, A previous authorization for such an indi- vidual in the 495lst Support Squadron had been deleted during a manpower survey of that unit in May 1957. Re-establistment of the position, or=the provision of the techmician in some manner, thus was requested for the test series, Special Weapons Center ultimately agreed to provide a Ground Safety Technician to Task Group 7.4 on a temporary duty basis, and this technician joined the task group in March 1958, When Colonel Wignall, the Group Deputy Commander, visited the proving ground in November and December 1957, one of the matters discussed with the Task Group 7.2 Commander was the question of augmentation of certain Task Group 7.2 activities by Task Group 7.4. The Task Group 7.2 Commander expressed a desire for Task Group 7.4 augmentation of bakers, cooks, mess attendants, motor vehicle mechanics, and Air Police. The Air Police were considered necessary to perform duties normally related to Air Base defense and security for which Military Police were not trained. AFWL/ HQ ™, 15!
