TASK UNIT 10, LASL ASSEMBLY
TU-10 was formed in July 1955 for the purpose of handling all assembly and zero point readiness for firing of all LASL weapons. A further responsibility of zero cab planning for the coordinated use by both. weapon and
diagnostic programs was assumed.
The initial phase of operation of TU-10 started with the appointment of
a task unit commander as a functioning member of J Division Office and
1
sitting as a member of TU-1 Staff. The primary object of this initial phase
was to establish personal liaison between the diagnostic programs of TU-1
and the groups of LASL W Division, LASL GMX Division, and SC whose
prime function was the manufacture of the Redwing devices during the initial
phase. It is felt that the establishment of this early liaison was worth the
effort and should be tried again. Great care should be used, however, to
have liaison that is familiar and sympathetic with both weapon and diagnostic
programs,
-
TU-10 moved into a second and active phase with the shipment of
Redwing devices from LASL. At this time personnel from W-1, W-7,
GMX-3, GMX-7, and Sandia became actively engaged in TU-10 activities and
formed the total TU-10 team at the PPG.
Eleven devices were brought to the PPG for test.
