The numbers of personnel in WET in this time period are of interest for
comparison purposes.

The group was authorized 98, was augmented with 34

' additional for Hardtack and was planned to be augmented with 210 more for
Trumpet, planned for 1959.

Furthermore in support of Hardtack overseas, WET

assisted in support of Task Unit 7.1.3 which had about 1200 personnel made up
of military, federal, and contractor.

The organization charts here for WET and

Task Unit 3 show that a number of the staff functions of each organization were
held by the same people although the head of the WET was not the same as the head
of the Task Unit, who was Colonel K. Coleman, Director of the Test Division under
the Head of WET.
