*Recommendations are as follows:

-
~~
1.
The use of mobile workshop equipment for the various teams operating at Zero sites should be considered wherever possible. The W-~7
trailer [_
_] which was used very effectively, proved the value of
the mobile unit.
‘
2. In the future, it is recommended that the task unit consider purchasing good handling equipment, such as fork lifts and box movers, and not
count on saving them between operations. All packaging of devices and gear
should be designed around the existing handling equipment for ease of han-~
dling.
.
3.
If barge shots are included in future operations, all barge construction and ballasting should be done either prior to the start of the active Task
:
Unit work at the PPG or at a location other than the Assembly Area.
4. All permanent buildings and equipment at the Assembly Area re-
quire repairs and maintenance.
A program of repair followed by constant
preventive maintenance should be initiated at once.

In order to facilitate handling of devices and equipment into the
