TU-6 Organization

The operational concepts, calling for firing capabilities at both Bikini
and Eniwetok atolls, demanded a Task Unit organization that provided two
separate and independent rad-safe groups. Accordingly, separate organizations were established at Bikini and Eniwetok with over-all control being maintained by the Commander of TU-6 (CTU-6). The organization at each atoll
was similar, varying only with the number of personnel assigned to the various 3ections. Each organization contained the following sections, as shown
in the organization chart in Fig. 1.1:
a. Dosimetry and Records Section for maintaining personnel dosimetry
records,

b.

Plotting and Briefing Section for conducting all radiological surveys
