SMe] Headquarters Task Group 7.2 Joint Task Force SEVEN APO 187 c/o Postmaster San Francisco, California 21 June 1954 Annex C to CTG 7.2 Operation Order No. 2-54 INTELLIGENCE, SECURITY AND PUBLIC INFORMATION 1. INTELLIGENCE - GENERAL: a. No interference with the mission of Task Group 7.2 is expected from an overt enemy action during the interim period following Operation CASTLE. b, The USSR and its satellites have given no indication of relaxing their drive toward world domination and are maintaining an advanced state of preparedness for war. An overt war with the Soviet Union would be on a global basis and would involve forces in the ENIWETOK area, 2. SUMMARY OF ENEMY CAPAZILITIES: It is considered that interference with the mission of Task Group 7.2 or compromise of activi- ties within ENIWETCK ATOLL could be effected by espionage, sabotage, overt action by vessel or aircraft, raids, observation, unauthorized sampling and declaration of war. a. Naval Capabilities: Due to the isolation of the ENIWETOK area surface action is discounted as a means of attack by an enemy in this area. It is estimated that 4-6 ocean patrol submarines could be maintainéd in the ENIWETOK area indefinitely and this -num- ber could be increased for short periods of time. Unobserved submarine approach to within one mile of the atoll is possible. — b. Ground Capabilities: No ground capadilities exist for any potential enemies in the ENTWETOK area. It is conceivable that - small raiding parties, either air or submarine transported, could operate in the area for short periods of time. c. Air Capabilities: Aerial photo and radiological reconnaissance missions: over the ENIWETOK area from SAKHALIN or the KURILES are within Soviet capabilities. 3. CONCLUSIONS OF ENEMY CAPABILITIES: Espionage, sacotage, observation and unauthorized sampling are considered most likely to occur under conditions existing today. In the event of general hos~ tilities, action by the enemy in the ENIWETOK area would consist. initially of the following, in the order of probability: a. Raids and possible landingsby. small forces of enemy personnel from submarines. b. “¢. landings. Aerial reconnaissance, Attack by armed aircraft to include possible paratroop 4. ESSENTIAL ELEXENTS OF INFORMATION: All JTF SEVEN personnel in the ENIVETOK area will advise CTIG 7.2 of: ae Any information that air or.surface craft are within the ENITETOK Closed Area as defined in paragraph la (3), this order.
