VIT (S) Arrange for the acquisition, issue, and control of all film badges for personnel of Task Group 7. participating in this operation.

Along with normal functional sections, the 926th maintained a nuclear applicationssection to instrument and prepare aircraft for nuclear cloud sampling. It was also responsible for removing the cloud samples from aircraft andpreparing them for shipment. Finally, the nuclear applications sectionoperated aircraft decontamination and personal dosimetry facilities. _ Successful accomplishment of the sampling phases of Operation REDWING, approaching in August 1955,still depended on obtaining modified aircraft of the proper types and numbers. At the operational planning conference, noted above, delegates were notified that the requirements for a B-36 sampler controller, previously included on requirements lists for REDWING, were deleted. The 925th Test Group had at least ten F-8 aircraft for sampling duties to augment the B-S7aircraft, and officials had expected no difficulty acquiring these aircraft for REDWING. On 1 September 1955, Colonel Sarl A. Ousley, then commander of the ug26th, visited Warner-Robins Air Materiel Area, where the B-57B modifications were being performed, for a firm delivery date and to investigate expediting the modifications. He learned that three of the aircraft were to be completed in November and three in December, but a subsequent technical order required additional modification on the LL APLC. S‘SH-2-0034 ie?
