(After the first two shots at Bikini, CUTF 7 and most of his staff remained at Farry even during the Bikini shots.) > b. CTG 7.1 and major elements of the task units and staff sec- tions will normally be located on Parry, although euch staff section will ave an integrated advance section at Bikini. ec. A capability of firing a shot at either atoll on the same day will be maintained, (This was done on two occasions, on one of which identicai shot times were used at both atolls.) Priority for firing will be given to Bikini Atoll shots. oe d. Firing of shots other than air drops will be accomplished p+ Eniwetok from the timing and firing station on Parry, and at Bikini from the timing and firing station on Enyu, using radio control from the USS Curtiss when it is necessary to evacuate the Enyu firing station, e. At Bikini all personnel except those in the firing station will be evacuated for all shots; at Eniwetok they will be evacuated to Parry and Eniwetok as necessary. f. The Task Force and Task Groups will be prepared to conduct 2!] operations from afloat at Bikini after the first (~ __ithere. CTG 7.1 and staff pius represematives of certain scientific programs and projects and of TG 7,5 will operate from the TG 7.1 command ship, USS Curtiss. (Since the Enyu camp was not contaminated or destroyed, it never became necessary tu accomplish this for longer than overnight.) g. At Eniwetok the main camp will be located on Parry with temporary work camps located on Rojoa, Runit, and Teitefripucchi. At Bikin’ terporary camps will be iocated on Enyu, Eninman, and Romurikku. h. Principal laboratory, machine shop, photographie, warehouse, ard stock room facilities will be located on Parry with limited field facili- ties located at Bikini. i. Trailers, vehicles, equipment, etc., will be evacuated to islands outside the danger area for each shot. j. An emergency capability for post-shot evacuation of personnel because of fallout will be maintained at both atolls, Such an evacuation will not include equipment. This concept provided a basis for the monthly status reports required from the projects beginning in June 1955, The purpose of these status reports was to obtain from the preicct o'ficers information as to how they planned to carry out their experiments. their operational activities overseas, and their estimated requirements for support Including housing, office and laboratory space, office furniture, co:nmunications, vehicles, boats, aircraft, timing signals, photography, air and surface transportation, etc. A Project Officers’ Meeting was scheduled at Los Alamos in July 1955 to orient
