au 3-46 future operations is strongly tecéimended. Water taxis were again available at Eniwetok Atoll. This greatly eased the up-island travel problem, particularly when the temporary canps at Yvonne and Janet were in operat.on. The Arming and Firing Coordinator made good use of the water taxis by utilizin- them for transportation to the zero sites in the event of marg:nal weather. He would wait until the 2200 weather briefing, and then proceed to the zero site if the shot was stil scheduled. The complete cooperation afforded TG 7.1 by the TG 7.5 Marine Department insured that there never were any problems in obtaining boat s-rvice. There were few days when all boats were not in operation. Especially good use was made of the MK-8 LCM in cases of quick movee ment or evacu:tion. More use of tais tyne craft (it is larger and faster) is efinitely recommended for future operations. 7 ye /38 PAGERy
