It is further suggested that the use of helicopters for getiing

passengers to water landing craft may be most desirable.

With the con~

currence of your headquarters and TG 7.3, request a barge be furnished,
_
with a landing circle painted thereon, for helicopter landings and pleced
as shown on attached drawing.

A small boat or raft should then be nrovid-

ed to tale personnel from the barge to the amphibian tied up at the buoy,

7e It is recommended that TG 7.3, through THUMPTACK, exercise normal
tower control of airlift aircraft onerating in the Bikini area, A Task
Group 7.4 Liaison Officer will be placed aboard the USS BAIROKO to coordinate TG 7.3 and TG 7.4 matters.

8, Further recommend Task Groun 7.4 exercise, through BOUNDARY TARE,
enroute or area control of all airlift aircraft operating in the Pilini
area,
9.

This proposed means of controlling airlift operations would

enable the CIC, BOUNDARY TARE, id coordination with the AOC Enivetok, to
control all enroute traffic. Communication would be maintaincd between
the two to assure imm-diate passage of flight schedules, flight plans,
flight altitudes, time of take-offs and lindings, canccllation, personnel
and cargo loads, etc.

The CIC, BOUNDARY TARE, after vectoring aircraft

te the landing area, will alert the CIC aboard the BAIROKO whore final
airlift control would be accomplished in conjuction with helicopter
control. After take-off of intcr-stoll traffic, the “AITROKO would pass
control back to the CIC for further clearance,

Approval of the above proposal is requested.
