vs. REDWING.
when strength reports of the various Task
Groups were received, a realistic forecast indicated that support would have to be furnished
for a much larger population than had been
previously estimated. Because of such factors
as long procurement lead times, tight shipping
space and schedules, and an earlier than planned
influx of personnel, some shortages of supplies
existed for a short period during the operational
phase.
On 10 April 1958, the Contractor was alert-

could be furnished from excesses created by test
program completions at Emiwetok and Bikini.
However, just the reverse happened, and the
