MEMORANDUM FOR: Project Director
SUBJECT : Deployment of Base C Pilot Personnel
1. With the probable slippage of Detachment C's deployment
date by at least two weeks and with the completion of the USCM for
C by no later than 28 October,, we are again faced with the situ-
ation where the eight pilot personnel assigned to Colonel Beerli
will have more than ample time for an extended pre-deployment leave.
2. Assuming a 1 December deployment date, these pilots will
have something in the neighborhood of more than thirty days at their
disposal. In the past, we have sent pilot personnel overseas follow-
ing physical deployment of the detachment to which they were
assigned. In each case we sent them overseas by eoamn.ercial air.
In view of the time-gap between the USCM and the deployment of the
main body of Detachment C, I recommend that the pilots be deployed,
in this.instance, by military air, leaving with the first C-18 air-
lift. Not only would this be a saving in dollars to us, but it
would avoid prolonging their leave status to a point where it
would be somewhat embarrassing for us to cover it in the event of
direct questioning from outside the project.
