A limited number of submarine cable telepnone circuits will ce maintained and operated by
Task Group 7 5 *to ainter-eonnest istania of the ENIWETCE ATOLL and
to ianter-connect islands of SIKINT ATLL

made of these facilities to meet ~cmmunacaticn ineeds within each
atoll because cf the commnitaiics security afforded by wire facilities. However, the limited ructer cf cable facilities, wide dispersion of operations and work par*see and the;number of aircraft
and ships involved will require extens.ve use {f medium (MF), high
(HP) and very high frequency (VHF) ant altra high frequency (UH?)
