‘TENTATIVE PLAN FOR THE ACCOMMODATION OF THR
OPFTCTAL OBSERVERS FCR
OPERATION REDWING
i. Observers would be transported via SAM aircraft from
the NATS SAM Squadron at Andrews Air Force Base, Maryland,
or
more probably Navy FLOGWING.
2.
Proposed Itinerary:
Washington, D, C. -- Washington National Airport
San Francisco
Honolulu
-- Travis Air Force Base
-- Hickam Air Force Base
Eniwetok
~- Eniwetok Air Base
3. Prior to witnessing detonations in the Pacific Proving
Ground, the Official Observers would:
a.
Attend briefings.
b. Take guided tours of Eniwetok and Parry, possibly
Bikini.
4, Duration of Visit:
Each group would be in the PPG about five (5) days.
This should provide them with an opportunity to view a large
shot,
or possibly a small shot if the large shot is delayed
excessively, and perhaps both,
5. Witnessing points:
Small Shot:
From a vantage point on the ground, or from
the air in the JTF-7 ROD.
Large Shot:
From the air - JTIF-7 R5D.
There is a possibility that selected observers would
be able to be aboard the ESTES, whose facilities are very
limited, at shot time.
