Summary:

Abstract: This report describes the activities of DoD participation in the atmospheric nuclear test series, Operation WIGWAM, which involved only one deep underwater shot in the Pacific, approximately 500 miles southwest of San Diego, CA. WIGWAM was essentially a single service operation with minimal AEC contractor participation. The various levels at which DoD personnel participated within the Joint Task Group 7 are identified. The Naval Ocean Systems Command is acknowledged for their analysis and assessment of the reliability.
