Ltr, SWS, 4950th TESTGU(N), dtd 24 Jul 57,"Comments to Final Report of the Commander, TG 7.4, Operation REDWING" ITEM REFERENCE NO COMMENTS 46. III P VC, paras A listing of general purpose vehicle requirements for HARDTACK has been prepared and forwarded to JTF SEVEN where it had received tentative approval, As indicated by his tentative allocation of general purpose vehicles, CJTF SEVEN is effecting maximm utilization of commercial type vehicles, 47. III P V D, paras 1,10 - 1.13 The preparation of the TG 7.4 Long Range Construc- tion Program during REDWING has resulted in an excel- lent basic document. The permanent establishment of this Headquarters has permitted the continued moni- toring of this program, With the excellent cooperation of JIF SEVEN and TG 7,5, this program is progressing in a most satisfactory manner, A realistic cut-off date of 23 June 1956 was established by CJTF SEVEN, Any changes or additions to the existing program are being closely monitored by this Headquarters. This Headquarters is studying the requirement for portable type buildings. Hq USAF has advised that CAS buildings will not be avaialbe, but that a Butler-type building, 40' x 100', can be made available. This substitute item appears to be satisfactory. 48. III P V D, paras 2.5 ~ 2.11 We believe that the establishment of the 4950th © Test Group (Nuclear) as a permanent organization with the mission of planning USAF participation in nuclear tests will prevent the neglect of the Construction Program which occurred previously. The 4950th has worked closely with JTF SEVEN to reorient the construction program from time to time to adapt it to changing requirements and to obtain as much of the necessary ccnstruction as possible in the off—year periods, 49. 90.6 FII P VI, paras See Item #6, page 2.
