Kwajalein,
In addition, there is an air search and rescue
unit at Kwajalein which
has been increased in size for the
duration of this operation.
The number of transient aircraft
which stop at Kwajalein has
increased many fold.
In order to
support the servicing of these aircraft and to provide for the
welfare of the crews and passengers, the normal activities at
Kwajalein have greatly increased.
Also Kwajalein is called
upon from time to time to provide amphibious aircraft for
trips to outlying islands such as Tarawa or Kusaie.
In conclusion we should remember that the tremendous
population in the Pacific Proving Ground requires food;
the
planes, ships, boats, and automotive equipment require fuels;
and the installations require materials for construction and
upkeep.
The Navy provides transportation for these in ships
which regularly visit the PPG.
This brief review of the Navy
part alone gives an indication of the magnitude of Operation
REDWING.
