CLASSIFICATION
TheTaek Group Classification Office worked very closely
with the Task Force Classification Officer.
Except for the
beginning of Operation Hardtack, however, there were not many
problems for the classification office - which indicated that
the guide was adequate, and most personnel knew how to use the
guide.
Because of the reduced need for the services of classi-
fication people, it is suggested that on the next operation one
person can handle both 7.1 and JTF-7 HQ responsibilities.
There was very little in the present guide to find fault
with,
It is suggested, however, that operation plans (stating
shot time) for the shots be permitted to be issued as unclassified at least two weeks before the -shot instead of the present
three days.
There is nothing magical about three days, and
from an operation point of view, two weeks is logical, provided
there is no other reason to classify same.
Also, it is suggested that a general classification policy
be accepted, that, what is visible to the general population
of an atoll be considered unclassified.
