During the month of January, 1948, the delivery of subsistence,
by mobile reefer truck, was set up for three other islands in the
Atoll.
This delivery service of freeze, chill and dry stores was
scheduled for twice a week-Sn@ remained on that basis until "P" Day.
For the months of January, February, and March, the QM supply operated
on a routine schedule of receiving (by either water or air), storing
and issuing of supplies for this Project.
The C & E supplies were set up on a replacement basis for 100
men for six months.
This supply was not sufficient after the 532nd
EB & SR Units and other small teams arrived from the ZI with but a
ninety (90) days supply of clothing and equipment.
Therefore it was
necessary to requisition additional supplies for this need.
For the
convenience of Officer personnel, both Army and Navy, an Officer's WM
Sales was set up in the C & & warehouse and did a worthwhile business.
In March the QM handled all the added supplies which were shipped
in for the setting up of JTF 7 on shore.
This included mostly office
furniture and stationery supplies.
Directly after the first of April, a start was made on the Roll-
up plan by out loading excess QM Supplies to z.1. and T.H.
A laundry trailer was brought ashore on the 8th of December 1947.
It was damaged while being unloaded, and it was a week later on the
15th of December before the laundry was in operation.
At that time it
was not operating at peak efficiency due to the damage sustained while
being unloaded.
