improvement over past operations and was appreciated by all

In general the small camps on shot islands were adequrte
in size and space was available upon arrival of our persor«.
The base camps on Eniwetok and Parry Islands, however, were
inadequate in most respects.
On Parry, quarters were still
being constructed on a crash basis when the population neared
its peak, and it was necessary to move some personnel seveca!
times as new buildings became available.
It is again rece:
mended that camp construction be accomplici2d between operati
when it can be done conveniently and ecor:m cally.
Other
facilities on Parry were also inadequate, such as the messhal
camp store, movie theatre, etc.
All such facilities, which
are important to comfort and morale, should be designed and
constructed to take care of the operational population before
another test
series is undertaken.

During Redwing and Hardtack a few persons from TG 7.1
were permitted to visit other islands in the Marshall, Gilber
- and Caroline groups as passengers on official trips to projec
sites.
These visits were nighly regarded as a& welcome change
from life at the EPG.
It is urged that in future operations
the opportunities for such trips be expanded so that most
persons on extended tours may be able to leave the site for ¢
