Holmes & Narver. Actual strength attained during the operational phase
proved to be approximately 95 per cent of the estimate made in August
1955.
The total number of quarters requested in all camps, except Parry
and Enyu, exceeded the total estimated population for the camps by about
-
10 per cent, The excess was required to permit a few personnel who moved
frequently between locations to have permanent quarters in two camps.
Parry and Enyu Islands were considered base camps for their respective atolls, and accordingly permanent space at these camps was requested
for all personnel temporarily living at camps on other islands. This proved
especially beneficial when the temporary camps were no longer habitable
and it was necessary to billet all personnel on Parry or Enyu.
Prior to each individual’s departure for the FA, certain routine pro~
cedures were accomplished by the Adjutant General’s Section. Assistant Adjutant Generals were established at UCRL Livermore and with the TG 7.1
Liaison Office at Hickam AFB, Honolulu, to accomodate the personnel traveling to the FA from UCRL, and for those individuals who arrived at Hono-
lulu without proper travel orders.

The movement to the FA was by individual rather than by unit. Most
nongovernment employees traveled from their parent organizations to Hawaii
via commercial airline and thence to the FA by MATS.
With few exceptions
military personnel and DOD civilian employees traveled from Travis AFB,
Calif., to the FA via MATS. A small percentage of personnel, both military
and civilian, were transported by MSTS or naval ships. The number of
Overseas Travel Orders written for individuals traveling to°the FA are
listed below:
1. TG 7.1 at Los Alamos, N. M. — 1015 travel orders involving 1934
individuals,
2. TG 7.1 at Livermore, Calif. — 189 travel orders involving 413
