placed under the oFeratio!lalcontrol of CTG 7.3 including the lu’mytsi
vessels cited above.
In addition to the vessele resigned to the Task
Force, regularly scheduled Army and Navy shipping wfisutilized when
&vail&ble.
No attempt was made to restrict the movement of cargo of
one service to ships of that service. BothAw
and Navy shipFingwere
used to transport cargo and personnel as the requirement arose.
If
practicable, a JTF representative w~s present to supervisethe loading
of all vessels which were carrying Sandstone supplies and materials.
For shipping stbttstics see J-4 report.
b.
It w~s realized from the beginning of this operation that
large quantities of cargo and many of the officer and civilian personnel
comected with the JTF would of necessity require trans~rtation to
the forwardare by air. Therefore,arrmgementawere made wherebyair-
craft of both the ATC and MATS would be utilized. JCS 1795/6specified
that the ATC would be primarily res~nsible for movement of personnel
and cargo for the &my
personnel ad
and Air Yorce and EATS would be responsible for
cargo of the Mavy.
This policy establlshedby the JCS,
“
was given & most flexible aFplic.atmn in the mo7ement of personnel and
\
cargo from Oahu.
BothATC and MATS were used withoutregardto origin
of personnelor cargo; the urgency
of the lift and the availability of
spice aboard aircraft determining the air transport service to be utilized.
