Distribution of supplies to the outlying islands was accomplished by
small boat, and, in many instances, by liaison planes.
The Embarkation
Section of Hq 532d EB & SR, which was composed of lst Lt QymmEyS ,
lst Lt SM, and S/Sct Qe, was responsible for the
local movement of supplies.
The Embarkation Section manifested the
cargo, arranged for small boats from the mobile boat pool, and supervised
the outloading and delivery.
This required the coordination of a myriad
of details, but, despite this fact, this system worked very efficiently.
On 1 February Majors QERMEEEEEUP ond QEBEBRMMs, and CWOfae
SMM sof the USARPAC Audit Agency arrived to advise the supply officers
in proper accounting procedure.
Many deficiencies were noted, due to
lack of, and/or improper documentation of the supplies from the rear areas,
and lack of experience on the part of some of the personnel.
These
deficiencies were pointed out to the officers concerned, and action was
taken to obtain shipping documents from the supply sources.
About 6
March photostatic copies of shipping documents were received for items
shipped through NAB Pt Hueneme, California.
Port operations were then organized under the Port Director, Major
qua.
«A system of cargo tickets was instituted, whereby each
item off-loaded was identified by the Port Reference Number, and a signed
receipt was obtained from each Consignee.
Due to the highly classified
nature of the project, many of the items could not be readily identified,
nor could the Consignee be determined.
Consequently, numerous items were
misdirected, but due to the cargo ticket system, it was an easy matter to
determine the possessor of the item in question, and adjustments were made
