After June 1950, it had been estimated that a monthly flow of 60
employees westward would maintain a population of 604 individuals which
was expected to be the maximum number required.
As the scope of the Project increased and as the Military Structures Program and the Scientific Structures Program were added, the
total of H & N personnel at the Jobsite increased to a maximum figure
of 1846 employees in March 1951.
It will be noted that there was no travel by MATS from the con-
tinent during July 1950.
This was due to the unusual demands made upon
MATS by the Korean War. It was necessary, therefore, that greater use
be made of commercial air facilities from the continent to Honolulu
during that month.
This was a parallel to the similar disruption which
occurred in the availability of cargo ships during the same month and
serves to indicate the extent of the impact of the war on the logistic
problem.
The movement of personnel eastward presented problems similar to
those encountered in the westward movement; the same transportation
systems were utilized and the same degree of supervision was required.
Table 14.3-3 indicates the extent of this travel by months
and by transportation systems.
