After the completion of Operation REDWING, only the main camp at Elmer remained activated; all other camps were rolled up and abandoned. In May 1957 the camp at Nan was re-activated. Operating from Elmer in Eniwetok and Nan in Bikini Atoll, the off-island camps were established. Rad-safety Stations were established from the main base camp on Elmer. Limited campfacilities were also provided afloat by outfitting 5 LCU’s as houseboats, which were primarily used for the support of the Scientific project personnel during mstrumentation and recovery periods at sites where camp facilities were not available.
