The LST's (Landing Ship, Tank) used in moving from Kwajalein to Eniwetok were not equipped with large booms, and drew too much water to unload at Eniwetok, Therefore, the cargo had to be wloaded at Parry Island, trucked to and loaded on LSM's (Landing Ship Medium), and then carried to Eniwetok, where once again it was loaded onto trucks for distribution to storage warehouses. The twenty prefabs were re-erected at Eniwetok. Although no exact dollar and cent cost could be estimated for the move, the consolidation of supplies resulted in a great saving during CASTLE operations. In March 1953 representatives of the Headquarters, USAF Installa- ; tions Office and JIF SEVEN had surveyed Eniwetok Island's rehabilitation needs for CASTLE, 2 It was believed that this rehabilitation program would cover all Air Force needs for CASTLE. However, it was later learned that the survey mainly covered getting the island in shape for general Air Force activities, and placed no emphasis on many of the requirements which would arise during the test operation, This survey was forwarded to JIF SEVEN where General Clarkson directed’Tack Group 7.5 (AEC Base Facilities) to begin working on only those rehabilitation pro- grams which the report cited. However, since General Clarkson had not been advised of many of the Air Force requirements, a great deal of necessary rehabilitation was not accomplished prior to the start of the operation.
