TU-10 operated by using specific teams of people for specific jobs for example, gas handling, X units, ENS units, etc. Each team did its particular job on each weapon under the coordinating control of the Commander
or Deputy Commander of the Task Unit. In addition, the handling and moving of the device was supervised by the engineer most familiar with the
general design of the weapon. By rotating crews at the PPG, it was possible to have an average of only about 17 people present, of whom only five
were required to remain for the full duration of Redwing.
A complete diversity of zero stations was used. Two ground stations,
two nae three towers, and four barges were rt,

done if the weapon teams involved had not operated at peak efficiency.
