after power, water and housekeeping installations were completed.
ISCOM Motor Pool was organized by reinforcing the nucleus of the
Headquarters and Headquarters, 532d EB & SR.
The added vehicles and
drivers came from the 532d EB & SR units until an average of sixty-two
(62) dispatches were issued daily during the month of February, March,
and April.
About one third of this number of units were supplied from
USARPAC to meet the requirements of the Utilities Detachment and the
transportation of visiting VIPs.
The ISCOM Motor Pool during this period
maintained its efficiency by continuously training new drivers and
operators for new equipment as it arrived.
A small guard detachnent of 1 NCO and 10 EM from the Marine Corps
was reinforced from the letter companies of the 532d EB & SR to bolster
the security program which increased with the population and the arrival
of classified material.
Rehabilitation of Eniwetok Island was under direct supervision of
the Operations Seotion of ISCOM.
This work was delegated proportionately
to the Utilities, Carpenter Shop and Headquarters and Headquarters Company,
632d EB & SR, the latter furnishing the ordinary labor and supervision.
This collective group did exceptionally good work, mostly due to the excellent organization of the Carpenter Shop, which in reality was a prefabrication mill.
Equally as well performed was the work of the Utilities
group where experienced supervision and skilled technicians contributed
greatly, even though handicapped by the volume of work and the steady
increase in population.
