Operation Greenhouse: Communications

Abstract

The purpose of this report is to present a comprehensive summation of Joint Task Force THREE communications for Operation GREENHOUSE to include technical information and operational experience not desirable for inclusion in the historical account of the Operation. The information is of vital interest to Communications Officers for subsequent operations at the Atomic Energy Proving Ground, Eniwetok Atoll, as well as to communications personnel of all services for possible application to their regular task or the provision of communications for similar Joint Task Force Operations. It is believed that future task forces conducting operations at Eniwetok will probably be organized similarly to JTF-3 and, therefore, it is quite probable that the communications for succeeding task forces will be similar to those of JTF-3. For Operation GREENHOUSE there was an extensive investment in fixed communications plant; this plant remains as the communications system of the Eniwetok Atomic Weapons Proving Ground. All nonperishable and noncritical equipment used in connection with Operation GREENHOUSE remains at Eniwetok for use in subsequent operations.
