VOL. U BOOK 5 CHAPTER I GENERAL The support of scientific operations by Holmes & Narver personnel during OPERATION IVY was authorized pursuant to the contractual provision which defined these services as follows: JOB NO. 4. SUPPORT SERVICES "The Contractor shall provide a labor pool of skilled and mskilled labor to assist the Commission's technical and scientific agents in instrumentation, equipment installation or erection, field engineering and construction, machining, and other related work connected with actual test operations. He shall also furnish unpacking and packing services and such equipment, operators, materials, and supplies as may be required in connection with these services." PROCEDURES, Through Holmes & Narver's experience with similar requirements under OPERATION GREENHOUSE and in cooperation with the AEC Resident Engineer, the following procedures were established for allocation of support services: 1. Work Orders were initiated by the scientific group requiring labor and materials. 2. Prior to the execution of the work, all Work Orders required the approval of either the AEC Resident Engineer or Field Manager at Eniwetok regardless of the scope or value of the service requested. 3. Approved Work Orders were then forwarded to the Holmes & Narver Resident Manager's office for assignment to the proper division in the Holmes & Narver organization with authorization to proceed; with copies to other interested departments or divisions, including the Accounting Division, These Work Orders covered all the services necessary to fulfill the requirements of the Scientific Using Agencies or elements of Task Force 132. It had been originally anticipated that Support Services under Job IV Work Orders would not reach substantial magnitude until the latter part of 1952, or for a period of possibly ninety days prior to shot time.
