MOVEMENT TO THE FORWARD AREA
3.4.1. Personnel
The major portion of administration and coordination for
orderly movement, by individual, from the numerous duty stations
and places of employment to the EPS was accomplished by the
Adjutant General's Section and the Liaison Officers at Travis
and Hickam Air Force Bases.
All military and Department of Defense civilian personnel
(except DOD contract civilians) were moved commercially to Trav.<
Air Force Base, and by Military Air Transport Service from Trevi:
through Hickam to Eniwetok.
Exceptions to this were the movement
of a few of these individuals by Military Sea Transport vessels,
and the authorization for use of commercial air to Hawaii by Nava.
Research Laboratory DOD civilians.
All AEC and DOD contract
civilians normally travelled commercially to Hawaii and entereu
the MATS or MSTS system at that point.
During Operation HARDTACK, a portion of the travel order
issuing responsibility was separated from the Adjutant General
at the Headquarters, Task Group 7.1,
and delegated to Assistant
Adjutants at the University of California Radiation Laboratory
(TU-2), and the Weapons Effects Test Division, Sandia Base (TU-2).
These assistant adjutants were responsible for writing orders
and making the necessary arrangements for the movement overseas of
the personnel of these two major Task Units.
This decreased
considerably the work load at the Headquarters.
There, the ad-
jutant General continued the order-issuing support of Task Units
1,4,5,6 and the Headquarters.
