Operations and Training:
During the period covered by this report the Operations
and Training Scction was employed chiefly with the task of guiding
subordinate units and activities in the accomplishment of CASTLE
missions,
The adequacy of training programs and prior planning was
evidenced by the highly successful manner in which the Task Groun
continued to accomplish its missions.
Training during this period was at a minimum, consisting
in the main of on-the-job training.
Nevertheless, certain specialized
training became necessary and was conducted.
In the field of plans, one new plan was published; further,
time now became available to look ahead, to think out and draft future
plans.
The details of these matters are discussed below,
The receipt of CJTF SEVEN Disaster Defense Plan 1-54,
dated 5 January 1954, and the fact that various areas and facilities
on ENIWETOK ISLAND had been placed under CTG 7.2 necessitated certain
changes in CTG 7.2 Natural Disaster Defense Plan 2-53.
These changes
were instituted in CTG 7.2 Natural Disaster Defense Plan 1-54 dated
23 February 1954.
