CHAPTER V
ROLL-UP

The concept of the Roll-Up Services as detailed in Job 5 of the Contract
was the rehabilitation and preservation of buildings and structures, ‘and the
repair, cleaning and mothballing of equipment which would not be required

after the test operations. With the exception of the roll-up of the camp on
Site David these services were not required until late in October. As the preparations for MIKE Test approached completion, the need for Roll-Up Services
increased in tempo, particularly in connection with the dismantling of the Gene
and Yvonne camps and the requirements for the evacuation of the Atoll.

The services provided under this phase of OPERATION IVY are listed
below in accordance with the features of Job 5 as detailed in the Contract.

Prior to undocking after re-

entry of the Atoll, bottom repairs were effected, and the hulls were
cleaned and painted. Eighteen LCMs and three seacraft (water taxis)
were beached and only those boats required after the MIKE Shot were
replaced in the water.

The work on the boats remaining on the beach

consisted primarily of cleaning and painting hulls, removal of radios,
batteries and starting generators for storage in a dehumidified space.

A program of overhaul of the LSUs was started. These boats, as they
cannot be beached, will be kept in an operable condition and those not
needed, will be operated once weekly.

Six LCMs, two YCs (wooden

barges) and one LSU were returned to the U.S. Navy and six LCMs
