Problems which arese from
such causes were subjected to on-the-spot arvitrary soluticns in the interest
of "getting the job done."
These solutiors were not necessatiiy the most
satisfactory from the standpoint of these ccnterned.
Ti is vecormended
i
that prior to the field phase of future operations tlear~sut wnderstandings
be reached between the laboratory or acanty mwernsmen: and Task Sronr or
Task Force command elements regarding civision cr artror.+7 ane chanre.s of
communication to field personnel./ It 4 tno. piidirety c..g+ tia> the HARDTACK
organization offers the best possible solut’on t2 tne conduct of a Pacific
test operation.
Prior to another operation the entice orgarisetion picture
should be fully explored by all participating szer ies.
.
Operational Limitations,
Because of the fallout difficulty of firing shets of large yield,
operational limitations imposed by experimental programs can seriously delay
acted
'
an entire test schedule. (Special attention should be deveted in technical \
planning to means of reducing or eliminating as many factors as possible
{
which could impose limitations as to when, how, or were 2 shot can de fired?
Radiochenical sampling by aircraft imposes more non--fallont assoc? ~ted
~
operational limitations on the firing of averaze de-vreloprental shiets than
does any other experiment or program.
It, in additior, imposes a heavy
support load on Task Force or supporting elements. (it is recomended that)
the development of a simple reliable ihexpensive rocke’s sary’ lag system be”
vigorously pursued,
_/
Experienced and skilled scientific personnel are the most valuatle single
asset associated with the nuclear testing capability.
In general, less money
is spent for attention devoted to these personnel than is devoted to the
maintenance, shipment, and protection of the equipment which they desien.
