PART IIIC LOGISTIC SUPPORT - DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY The field portion of the Northern Marshall Island Radiological Survey Program will be conducted in two separate operations, the photographic - survey and the radiological survey. The Department of the Navy (DON) — Project Manager for coordination and execution of DOD responsibilities for rendering logistics support to this survey is Commander, Pacific Missile Test Center, Pt. Mugu, California. The photographic survey of the 11 atolls and 2 islands will be accomplished utilizing a DON fixed-wing aircraft. The platform has been specifically configured to receive the EG&G high resolution and infrared-capable cameras, — plus additional peripheral support equipment. The aircraft will be based at Kwajalein and will be required to fly 10 to 12 hours a day for approximately 24 days. This period includes contingencies for weather and aircraft down time. Utilizing the data gathered from the photographic operation, an aerial radiological survey will be conducted of the atolis, and islands by means of two helicopters equipped with EG&G radiation detection and recording instrumentation. Wheeling, The helicopters will normally operate from the USNS the base support ship. The terrestrial and marine radiological Survey operations will require the services of a support vessel and will therefore also use the USNS Wheeling as a base support ship. It is estimated that 556 total flight hours will be required for the helicopters which will include flight hours for predeployment training, transporting personnel and equipment ashore, and for other administrative purposes as required.
