DISPOSITION OF FORCES (ROLL-UP)
General

The Forward Area roll-up or redeployment of TG 132.1 proceeded as a normal phasing out function, with units and individuals being reassigned and equipment disposed of as tasks
were completed. The redeployment of TG 132.1 began prior to Mike Shot with the permanent
evacuation of certain material no longer required in the Forward Area. This included items
such as the special Camco transport Dewars and their specialized equipment. Certain personnel whose work in the Forward Area was completed before Mike Day were redeployed
either to Hawaii on a standby basis or to their respective stations in the ZI.
