III P IV B, paras

During Operation REDWING accurate records were
kept of all flights to include flying time, pas~
sengers and cargo carried. These figures were

1.3 -~ 1.10

used as a basis for planning support requirements

for HARDTACK and a similar set will be kept on
HARDTACK, Airlift support requirements for both

inter-island and inter~atol]l airlift have bean sub-

mitted on a basis of a 25% increase over %EDWING,

This

increase was given by JIF SEVEN, A total of six (6)
C-54's and/or C-123's have been requested for inter—
atoll and weather island resuprly airlift. A total

of 15 H-19's or H-21's have been requested for interisland airlift. Three (3) SA-16's have again been

requested for resupply of weather islands with no

airstrip,

These three are included in the total of

seven (7) SA-16's requested at the Operations Con-

ference held at JTF SEVEN in February 1957.

As recommended in the Final Report, during the plan—
ning phase of HARDTACK TG 7,4 will coordinate with
TG 7.1 on a joint plan for sample recovery and return, This coordinated plan should be similar to
the one that worked so successfully on REDWING and

will be submitted to JTF SEVEN for their publication.

Our plans for the accomplishment of radiological

safety training will be initiated as soon as the

Air Force participating agencies are know, As
soon as definite units are designated to participate
in HARDTACK, the requirement for rad-safe monitor
training will be ascertained and, if necessary, Air
Training Command will be requested to establish a
course to train these monitors,

TG 7.4 will be

prepared to give an on-site course similar to the
one given during REDWING,
