Commander's Concept of Operations CJTF SEVEN No. 1-53 and equipment not involved in recovery operations for the shot will be deployed from BIKINI ATOLL. Total pre-shot evacuation of all re- maining personnel and equipment (less firing party) will then be necessary during the shot. Data recovery operations will be conducted from afloat. Upon completion of data recovery operations, the task force afloat will return to ENIWETOK ATOLL and move ashore to conduct Shot #5 (ECHO). (4) SHOT #5 (ECHO) and SHOT #6 (YANKEE). There will be no pre- shot evacuation of personnel or materiel from ENIWETOK ATOLL for these shots. Only the transfer of personnel, equipment and small craft from the northern islands to ENIWETOK and PARRY ISLANDS will be necessary. ce The foregoing pre~-shot evacuation procedures will apply to all task force personnel except a firing party of approximately six (6) individuals who will detonate the BIKINI shots from a protective bunk- er on ENYU ISLAND. d. Except for Shot #4 (KOON), it will not be necessary to evacuate any land~based materiel beyond the limits of BIKINI ATOLL for protective purposese e. Emergency Post-Shot Evacuation Capability. During those shots where a pre-shot evacuation is not conducted, the joint task force will maintain a capability for emergency post~shot evacuation. An emergency post-shot evacuation will be executed only if unexpected radiological conditions so dictate. Such evacuation will be for per- sonnel safety only; will not involve movement of materiel or personal belongings other than toilet articles and; will be capable of accom- ro? plishment on four (4) hour notice.
