SYNOPSIS
OF THE MANPOWER
AUDIT
PURPOSE
A. To confirm the Detachment's current requirements for
manpower assignments.
B. To present appropriate modifications or refinements to
the existing manning structure as required to support the latest
change to the Detachment's mission directive.
BACKGROUND
A. Detachment G's mission had changed recentl
5989, 19 September 1968) from the previous, long standing require-
ment to maintain a capability for two simultaneous world-wide
deployments. The new mission requires that the Detachment
maintain a single world-wide staging capability while, at the same
time, be capable of conducting test/training as required for the
on-going development and upkeep of IDEALIST assets.
B. The current Tabl e of Organization for Detachment G,
originally established to support the dual staging mission, reflects
an authorized level o

The current manning document of the Detachment indicates that
25X1 there are

assigned for
duty. In addition to the authorized T/O the Detachment has a
total assigned for duty.
C. During the last 24 months, events have dictated that
the Edwards Detachment assume tasks that were not part of its
original basic mission. Two of these additional task are: the
overall U-2 crew training program (once done by SAC), and the
assumption of the development testing of all new U-2 systems
and equipment. (Previously the responsibility of LAC, Van Nuys).
DISCUSSION
A. The Headquarters Team jointly and individually
reviewed all aspects of the Detachment's Manning Structure, using
as its basic yardstick the following guide lines:
1. What manpower is needed for a typical deploy-
ment and why?
Z. With a deployment in being, what manning is
required to maintain the stay-behind required test and
training program at Edwards Air Force Base?
3. The level of test and training activity will
decrease to a considerable degree once the U-2R becomes
operationally ready.

B. The Headquarters Team in the initial meetings with
the Detachment Staff explained that the exact disposition of the
U-2C aircraft had not been determined. The Detachment was
further advised that as the U-2R attrited, they would be replaced
with the U-2C and, therefore, there would be a continuing require-
ment for the Detachment to support U-2C aircraft.
C. The Detachment's heavy test and training activities
have absorbed most of the manpower that was slotted for the Dual
Staging Mission of the Detachment.
D. The Detachment has several one-of-a-kind personnel
requirements, (e. g. L. S. 0., Link Trainer Operator, Military
personnel clerk, etc.), in all cases it was found that the Detachment
was receiving maximum utilization of these individuals by assigning
them additional duties where possible.

CONCLUSIONS
A. The Detachment Commander and his immediate staff
have made every effort to achieve the maximum utilization possible
from the manpower resources available. (This is no small task when
the makeup of the Detachment is examined closely).
B. The Detachments utilization of its while
not effecting this manpower audit, should be re-examined and
modernized where appropriate. Particular areas of concern are:
25X1 the
25X1

functions in the Sqdn; the use of the pilots for flights
over or near restricted areas; and the resultant security ramifications
of the functional responsibilities in the Sqdn.
C. With the advent of the new Headquarters Medical Staff
there is no longer a requirement for two survival technicians at the
Detachment.
D. There are two unmanned communications slots assigned
to the Detachment. These slots were part of the Detachment's Dual
Staging manning. Recent personnel rotations and the Detachment's
decreased communications workload has caused these slots to be
vacated.

E. The Edwards Detachment has one M/Sgt who is slotted
against support aircraft maintenance while working in installations.
He is excess to Detachment requirements in that position. His
absence from support aircraft maintenance has not affected the
efficiency of that organization.
F. By the end of Fiscal Year 1969, the construction program
for Edwards Air Force Base should be essentially complete, and the
only civil engineering requirement should be for facility maintenance.
The Detachment will, by that time, have two maintenance people on
Agency contract. These people will be capable of performing main-
tenance of the facility at the North Base and in addition will be capable
of follow-up on work orders to the Base Civil Engineer. This will
make surplus the Tb O slot now occupied by under the
Director of Support.
G. By the end of calendar year 1969, the current high level
of Detachment Flying activities (test, training, etc) will have tapered
off considerably. This coupled with the Detachment's single staging
mission, should reduce by one, the requirement for an assigned
Operations Officer.
H. By end of FY 1969, the Detachment will be authorized,
25X1 only Due to the planned replacement program
(5 years/pilot program assignment), there will be an average of one

pilot in training status at all times. Further because of training
requirements, one other pilot will be required to remain at Edwards
as an Instructor Pilot. This will leave
pilots for deployment/
operation. This is an austere U-2 pilot strength for deployments,
plus test and training flights at Edwards. Should, however, one
or two of the USAF Operations Officers become U-2 qualified, the
Detachment's ability to respond to its overall U-2 flying require-
ments would be greatly enhanced.
I. Since the U-2C/G aircraft are scheduled to be placed in
storage during the last quarter of fiscal year 1969; the personnel
equipment section area can be reduced by 2 spaces. The require-
ment for maintenance of partial pressure equipment for possible
future use in the U-2C can be accomplished by maintenance
technicians assigned from the life support system contractors.
J. Lockheed Guard Post #5 (stationary post) located
between hangars 2 1/2 and 3, has provided personnel security control
measures between flight test and the Detachment. It can be eliminated
when the flight test phase of the U-2R is completed by Lockheed in
early 1969. Elimination of this post will reduce overall guard overtime
coverage by 40 hours a week.

K. In summary, the committee concluded that Detachment
G is adequately manned for its present workload, and that manning
can be reduced to a limited extent as the aircraft inventory is
reduced and flight test activity is stabilized.
L. As experience in U-2R operations is gained, follow-on
manpower surveys will be required to insure that manning documents
reflect optimum manning for the new U-2R operation.

cannot be used as an operations officer on a carrier operation because
of his L. S. 0, duty requirements.

U-2 aircraft.
PHOTOGRAPHIC INTERPRETATION
A. The Photo Interpretation Section is responsible for the
readout of the tracker camera film for all U-2 missions. The tracker
film is used on training flights to score individual pilots on their
mission performance. On operational missions, the film is used to
determine where the missions were flown, the weather conditions en
route plus quick readout of primary target coverage. For operational
missions, the section is required to interpret the tracker film and send
a report to Hqs within 12 hours after the mission aircraft has landed.
B. It is recommended that manpower slots allocated in this
section not be changed.

LINK TRAINER
This is a one man section requiring special Link Training
Equipment qualifications. It's prime function at this time is simulated
instrument training for Detachment pilots. In the near future, the link
25X1
trainer will have incorporated the U-2's for 25X1
simulation training. Presently, the NCO assigned to this one man
section has as an additional duty the responsibility for operating the
TV camera for coverage of all Detachment U-2 take-offs and landings.
FLIGHT PLANNING
A. The flight planning section is responsible for preparing
the pilots logs, charts, etc., required for each U-2 flight. Experience
has shown that this section spends one hour in pre-mission preparation
for each hour of U-2 flight.

C. This section is adequately manned against the present and
the foreseeable future of the Detachment missions.
FLIGHT TEST COORDINATOR
A. This is another of the Operations one man sections that
require special qualifications of the assigned individual. The incumbent
is a test pilot school graduate with considerable experience in all phases
of aircraft test flying.

C. For IDEALIST Deployments, it has been and should
continue to be, the established procedure to deploy

ilots to 25X1
the forward station. This stems from the requirements for one as
primary mission pilot,
This plan provides
backup for: a sick primary pilot, back to back operational missions;
and a ferry flight to-an operations mission-and a ferry flight from-
a forward site on successive days.
D. A level of

recommended for the Detachment considering current and projected
future mission requirements. This number is insufficient to provide
for both test missions and training pilots at Edwards when the
Detachment has deployed a team to another location. If however, 25X1
USAF operations officers were to become U-2 qualified (para D above)
the Detachment could continue test and training operations during deploy-
ments.

placed in a lateral functional relation to the Chief of Maintenance.
D. The Chief of Maintenance is directly responsible to
the Director of Materiel for controlling, supervising and correlating
Detachment mission aircraft maintenance actions, including systems
integration. The intent of this organizational system is to insure
that specialists will be provided for those maintenance actions which
are beyond the limits of skill, manpower, tools, equipment or time
available to the crew chief and his assigned maintenance crew. This
requires scheduling, assignment of priorities and other control actions
by the Chief of Maintenance.
E. The assigned Director of Materiel demonstrated a positive
capability for managing and directing a most difficult assignment of
functions and tasks in superior fashion. Although all materiel actions

MATERIEL
DIRECTOR OF MATERIEL
A. The Director of Materiel is one of five Directorates
in the Detachment's organization structure and is the largest
single employer of assigned military and contractor personnel.
B. The Director of Materiel is responsible for and
exercises supervision over the following functions:
1. Support Aircraft Maintenance
2. Supply
3. Quality Control & Evaluation
4. POL and LOX
5. Mission Aircraft Maintenance
a. Airframes & Engines
b. Cameras & Sensors
c. Avionics

C. The Directorate is organized along the "Chief of
Maintenance" concepts for the direct support of the Detachment 's
primary mission. Other Materiel functions such as Support Air-
craft Maintenance, Supply, Quality Control & Evaluation, and
POL/LOX are directly responsive to the Director of Materiel, and

invaluable to the activity in this respect and the Survey Team recom-
mended the permanent placement of
in that function; but
for his services to be contracted through an activity other than Hycon.
A recommendation to that effect is made in the summary to this report.
H. A subject of repeated discussions between Detachment G
and Headquarters has been the need for a "Special Projects Engineer"
in the Detachment. Essentially, the Detachment has uncovered an
on-board engineering talent who, by using local resources, can design,
layout, fabricate and fit electronic equipment into small test packages
or simulators. Demonstrations given the Survey Team on some of
these fairly ingenious techniques and equipment adequately supported
the Detachment's contention regarding the value that is being received
from
abilities and skills. As with

the 25X1
recommendation is made by the Survey Team that this function be

SUPPORT AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE
A. This section reports directly to the Director of Materiel
and is responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of assigned T-33
and U-3B aircraft and associated AGE and ground handling equipment.

NCO's. 25X1
However, one NCO has been moved to assist in the Civil Engineer-
ing functions of the Support Directorate. The Director of Material
stated that a total authorization of
NCO's would be adequate for
future support of these aircraft maintenance functions. It was also
noted, however, that some losses to PCS rotation, and "Boot Strap"
will be forthcoming and close attention to replacing these losses will
be required by Headquarters Personnel Staff. Recommendations are
that one military NCO (Aircraft Maintenance Technician) position be
deleted from the Detachment's Table of Organization and that Head-
quarters monitor closely the status of replacements for this
maintenance section.
SUPPLY
A. The Supply Officer reports to the Director for Materiel
in the performance of his assigned responsibilities. The Supply
Office was authorized a total of
Supply Specialists and
personnel, consisting of
Lockheed Contract Supply Technicians.
B. The Supply Office was organized into three major
activities under the Chief of Supply and his NCOIC:
1. Property Accounting.

procedures and functional descriptions and, as a consequence,
mutual interference was minimal.
D. The Supply Officer is also required to periodically provide
supply personnel assistance in support of
25X1
TDY requirements. 25X1
E. Discussions with the Supply Officer indicated that by
FY-70 and upon completion of present support workloads, the
Lockheed Contract Supply Technicians could be released. However,
the Survey Team believed that if a decision is made to store U-2C/G's
at North Base, it may not be prudent to release these
contract
employees. This was noted as a subject for further assessment by
Headquarters during any forthcoming studies concerning support of
the stored U-2C/G fleet.
F. Separate discussions with the Supply Officer entered into
areas of policy and procedures, as well as his concern over the U-2R
spares support by Lockheed and the Project Depot. A Supply Assist-
ance Team was scheduled to visit the Detachment the following week
and would be entering into all facets and details of these problem
areas. However, understandable as the Supply Officer's concern
was on his many support problems, the U-2R supply posture
remains quite fluid. The reasons are many and among others,
stem from the fact that the vehicle and its systems are actually
being rushed from an R&D environment into an operational category

as rapidly as possible, often at the expense of production and

unanticipated sub-performance of certain components or systems.
G. Recommendation is made that the
Lockheed
Supply Technicians be released by FY-70. However, if Detachment
G is to be responsible for the stored U-2C/G aircraft and their
associated spares and AGE, this recommendation must also be
reas se ssed.
QUALITY CONTROL & EVALUATION
A. This function is manned with Lockheed contractor
inspection personnel and reports directly to the Director of
Material. Primary responsibilities include determination of the
quality of maintenance throughout the maintenance complex by
actual performance of quality inspections and from review of
production reports. This activity is further responsible for keeping
the Director of Materiel and the Chief of Maintenance advised of
unsatisfactory trends and conditions affecting safety.
B. By FY-70, and depending on the Detachment's aircraft
inventory, this activity can be reviewed again for a possible
reduction to the number of assigned personnel.

One Lockheed contract technician is responsible for LOX handling
and maintenance.
B. The manning in the POL function is, admittedly, thin.
However, justification to fully support an additional position would
be difficult to develop at this time. Much of the present efficiency
and effectiveness stems from the considerable know-how and
initiative of the
CO's. This activity has been earmarked for
close monitoring by Headquarters to insure no personnel manning
gaps are allowed to develop.
CHIEF OF MAINTENANCE
A. The Chief of Maintenance reports directly to the Director
of Materiel. The position is currently manned with a senior, well-
experienced Lockheed contract representative. The following depicts
the structure of this organization under the"Chief of Maintenance"
concept referred to earlier in this narrative:

B. With the Iris II camera entering the IDEALIST opera-
tional inventory in late Fiscal Year 1969, the Survey Team pointed
out that the Detachment should be prepared to reduce the numbers
of contractor personnel used in direct support of the three other
sensors, i. e., the "B", "H", and Delta III cameras. This was
recognized by the Detachment.
C. During the time these discussions were going on,
the Survey Team also made an evaluation of the film processing
and special photographic tasks that are being performed by the
Detachment. These latter functions had never been formally
recognized or manned and, in actuality, were being performed
by personnel drawn from the camera maintenance groups, primarily
Hycon.
D. It was the opinion of Survey Team members that
the film processing and special photo functions should not be
supported under the mantle of any other camera group. This
capability appears to be a bona fide adjunct to the Detachment's
mission and one that should stand on its own merits. An analysis
of workload and production data substantially supported this judgment.
It is recommended that a lateral transfer to the Processing Center
be planned for a number of those Hycon contractor representatives
now charged with direct support of the "B" and "H" cameras. Aside
from formalizing actions that are now being performed informally,
the Detachment will still retain a modest "cross-over" capability

in event a minimum number of these Hycon cameras are required
to be retained in the Detachment as an "on-the-shelf" capability.
E. Three Perkin Elmer technicians are assigned to the
Detachment for support of trackers, primarily the T-35 model.
The high reliability and performance of this equipment indicated
this manning posture as being too high. Recommendation is made
that the manning be reduced to one technician.
F. The Itek group (Delta III and Iris II) personnel have
been involved in orientation and training courses at their home
plant. The number of personnel assigned, including any known
attrition factors, will be satisfactory for support of these cameras.
G. .As noted earlier, film processing and performance of
special photographic assignments is a definite workload in the
Detachment. This function grants the Detachment an on-the-spot
capability for prompt read-out of tracker film and an assessment
of the pilot's flight plan accuracy. It also enables the sampling of
photo materials for disclosure of any camera malfunctions.
Recommendation is made that this be a recognized Detachment
function and its manning be supported from those personnel excess
to the "B" and "H" camera (Hycon) group.
AVIONICS
A. The Avionics Section reports to the Chief of Maintenance
for support of mission aircraft requirements, but retains direct
administrative channels to the Director of Materiel. The activity

will be reduced through attrition and a pending transfer.

A "Utility" maintenance technician operates the equipment. The AGE
maintenance technicians
and the Autopilot representative are part
of the normal maintenance complement.
D. Batteries employed in the U-2R and in the U-2C/G
aircraft are completely different and require certain skills in their
upkeep. For example, a silver zinc battery (U-2R) from off-the-shelf
stock requires 143 hours to attain full charge. If taken from an aircraft
after a certain number of flights, it must first be completely discharged
before placing on the charger. This is further complicated by the
fact that each aircraft requires two batteries and the life span of each
cell in these batteries is about 9 months. The Nicad Batteries (U-2C/G)
require separate charging rates and procedures; as do the destruct
system and TCG Batteries maintained by this shop. All the above are
pointed out to emphasize the differences that exist between this battery
shop and one that supports the common storage battery.
GENERAL
A. During the several years that U-2C/G aircraft were supported
out of the Lockheed Van Nuys facility, the program realized its highest
level of support in the true sense of the "Skunk Works" concept. Modi-
fications or special fittings could be made to an aircraft on an overnight
basis at Van Nuys. "Paperwork" and other administrative actions were
not the pacing factors. The close-out of the Van Nuys facility and the
placement of the U-2R production effort among Lockheed engineers who
had minimum familiarity with field operations of the U-2 have diluted

Approved For Release 2007/10/23: CIA-RDP75B00326R000100100026-5
this early capability. As a consequence, and as was observed
during this Survey Visit, the "Skunk Works" has consciously (or
perhaps unconsciously) shifted from Lockheed to Detachment G. It
was the opinion of the Materiel member of the Survey Team that,
intangible as this subject may appear to be, it is one that should
also be weighed during any evaluations of workload performance
by the Detachment.
B. The Detachment Commander and the Deputy for Materiel
presented several topics during the visit that warrant entry in this
narrative:
1. Multi-Purpose Test Equipment. Rather than
transport several items of test equipment on a deployment,
the recommendation was made that the best "brains" avail-
able to OSA, OEL, etc., collectively investigate the
development of multi-purpose test equipment as replacement
for some of the equipment that is now in use by the IDEALIST
Program. For example, it might be practical that an
console could, with minor modifications, also serve to test
circuitry in portions of the airframe or in the sensors and other
systems. On the other hand, this approach would limit the
number of personnel that could work on the aircraft at one time
as the multi-purpose equipment would be tied up with whatever
requirement had first maintenance priority.

2. AGE Weight gz Cube Reduction. The Detachment
has been investigating various means for "streamlining"
the U-2R AGE. Its recommendation is that a dynamic
program be initiated for reduction of the size and weight
of AGE, such as the tail cart, fuselage cart, and engine
roll-back stand. Also, that vendors other than Lockheed
be explored as possible sources for these types of AGE.
3. Common Source of Power. Consider designing
and developing a light-weight, easily transported start cart
for the U-2 aircraft that provides a basic power and air-
start capability. Present start carts are USAF-Base
oriented and not matched to ease of deployment.
4. Utility Maintenance Shop. (Detachment). As
mentioned earlier, the Detachment possesses a modest
machine shop. This activity is presently capable of
performing drilling, lathe-turning, metal-bending, and
similar functions in support of the Detachment, primarily
in the Materiel areas. This in-house capability has saved
the Detachment many hours in time that would otherwise
be expended by farming the work out to the Host Base shops,
Lockheed-Burbank or commercial plants. This shop presents
a considerable potential for picking up even larger and more
complex assignments. Detachment personnel felt that
addition of one or two individuals, plus some refinements to

equipment support of the Detachment crew-members. The primary
mission of this section is the maintenance, inspection, and proper
fitting of the U-2 pilots high altitude pressure suits. In addition,
the individuals of this section have the critical responsibility for an
absolutely flawless hook-up of the pilots equipment to the U-2's
oxygen system. This section is also responsible for the procurement,
evaluation and instruction in the use of life support equipment for both
the U-2 and supporting Detachment aircraft.

The Duties/Functions of each assignee is the subject of a compre-
hensive manpower study made by the Detachment Director of Life
Support (attachment II).
3. This section was adequately manned under the old dual
staging mission of the Detachment. It is believed that in light of
the future reduction in the Detachments flight operations that there
will be an overage in Military PE Technicians. It is therefore
25X1 recommended that
of these slots be dropped from the Detachment's
T/O as the assignees rotate out of the Detachment.

section responsible for world-wide
rescue and survival training techniques for the mission pilots.
2. It is recommended that this section be reduced by one
slot. (The present incumbent is in the process of transferring from
the Detachment for Medical reasons). This recommendation is due
to the advent of a survival technician in the AMS function at Project
Headquarters. The Headquarters survival technician position should
provide for a more comprehensive overall training program in the
Detachment.

Personal Equipment support is based on the number of pilots assigned to
fly the Article, the number of staff officers flying support aircraft, main-
taining flight equipment for each pilot, maintaining parachutes, survival kits,
and other items needed to fulfill the mission requirements.
Support can not be based on the number of people needed on a deployment.
With the assigned seven men, we have had to utilize the
doctor, as well 25X1
as recall men from leave to support additional assigned missions.
Deployment needs are dictated by the amount of equipment and number of
pilots required to support that mission and yet be able to fulfill the needs
of the home station, ie, pilots remaining at the home station, home station
missions to be supported, possible additional deployments, dictate the total
manning needs. Examples of these are;
1. Quick turn around ferry missions requiring two men plus the launching of
training missions at the home station.
2. Carrier operations.
3. Two aircraft deployments.

5. Emergency replacement of men at other stations.
The following list is an estimated breakdown of man hours expended. We
include no lost time of any type, ie, sickness, personal matters, etc. Our
overtime at present for all personnel is excessive as well as night work and
week end work. As a rule, overtime and week end work is not compensated

We can show many deployments that the ferry alone required the support
of a minimum of three personnel, and at the same time two persons were already
deployed. We have, in this case, had to use substandard persons in this area.
It would be interesting to know how Some of our missions would proceed if
the one P.E. man on hand were to become sick.

CLERICAL SUPPORT
1. It is absolutely essential to accurate records keeping and
filing procedures continuity that one individual, preferably a
clerk typist, devote the entire workday to clerical support for
the Personal Equipment section. The records and historical in-
formation maintained by this section are very extensive, reaching
back to the inception of our program, and the number of publications
and manuals necessary to our efforts are countless, for example;
EQUIPMENT OPERATION MANUALS
EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE MANUALS
PARTS CATALOGS
BLUEPRINTS
SCHEMATICS
DRAWINGS
DIAGRAMS
TECHNICAL ORDERS
PERSONAL EQUIPMENT MANUALS
PHYSIOLOGICAL TRAINING MANUALS
AIRCRAFT MANUALS
2. In addition, the maintenance of supply records for approximately
one thousand individual items of equipment imposes an immeasureable
clerical demand. These records include:
FAR DOCUMENTATION

PILOTS
TRAINING SUPPORT
1. ASSIGNED
The requirement for training all pilots who are
now assigned and who have been assigned for the past
year is a continuing one. Our equipment's degree of
sophistication demands that we frequently conduct
pilot briefings on
STANDARD EQUIPMENT PROCEDURES
STANDARD AIRCRAFT PROCEDURES
EQUIPMENT CHANGES
NEW EQUIPMENT
IMPROVED PROCEDURES
2. NEW ARRIVALS
The newly assigned pilot must be given very in-
tendive training in all phases of Personal Equipment
and aircraft procedures which include.:
PRESSURE SUIT TRAINING & FITTING
PHYSIOLOGICAL BRIEFINGS
SEAT PACK TRAINING
SPECIAL PROCEDURES FOR MISSION LAUNCH
COCKPIT TRAINING
EJECTION TRAINING
EQUIPMENT TRAINING
3. CARBON COPIES
Training support for Carbon Copy personnel is a
continuing one and entails training in all the ele-
ments necessary to each new arrival (as listed in
paragraph 2) and includesAn addition:
CHAMBER FLIGHTS
SUIT & HELMET FITTINGS
SUPPORT AIRCRAFT (T BIRD) BRIEFINGS

TECHNICIANS
1. ASSIGNED
? All assigned Personal Equipment technicians
are required to continuously upgrade their knowl-
edge of equipment and procedures and remain con-
stantly aware of each new development in the Life
Support field. Each man must be capable of func-
tioning completely independant without supervision
under most adverse conditions on deployment to re-
mote sites and under minimum supervision at his
home station. Those qualifications require a great
deal of each individuals time and effort every
work day.
2. NEW ARRIVALS
At least three months must be devoted to the
training and supervision of each new arrival. The
equipment, the aircraft, and the system for flight
launch in this organization are such that each new
arrival must be handled as though he were basically
unfamiliar with any procedures known to us. While
some of our equipment is standard, a greater portion
of it is unique to this function ahd-J all of our
equipment requires attention to a degree much higher
than accepted Commercial or Military standards .
3. SPECIAL CATEGORY PERSONNEL
The Personal Equipment section is also respon-
sible for the complete and thorough training of
the in all phases of P. E. The
imp6..LL uL LU15
LLu.LLment is quite great when one
considers that the Physician has had no past exper-
ience in any related or similiar equipment.
This category also includes the training of
Personal Equipment Technicians programmed to fill
a supervisory position in our sister organization
overseas.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION
The total manhours expended during this annual work load survey
reveals that a significant number of hours were performed after normal
duty hours by the two presently assigned medical technicians. These
hours are not necessarily identified in this evaluation. Most were applied
to administrative duties. It is felt that with the assignment of an
administrative technician to the Life Support Section3the medical section
would adequately be manned. However, should the squadron personnel
strength increase or the number of TDY's increase this section would
require additional medical technician manpower to properly administer
to the health and wellfare of assigned or attached personnel.
