labor was also expended repairing damage to cables caused

by dozers, diesel shovels and other mechanical equipment.

The problem of supply was well taken care of by

Seattle headquarters and very little delay was encountered

due to lack of material or equipment.  This problem was

further simplified by the fact that Navy supplies were

available to ACS and local purchases could be made in

Kodiak village.  Heavy equipment required over and above

that provided by ACS was borrowed from various Army organ-

izations and the Navy.  Repair and maintenance of equip-

ment was done by Army Ordnance and Navy shops.

     The unstinted cooperation given by all Army units

and the Navy was a great factor in the successful com-

pletion of the project.  The Coast Artillery, the Seabees

and Army Ordnance were exceptionally helpful.

     Early in 1943 radar installation personnel arrived

at Ft. Greely and the first SCR-296 was installed on Long

Island during the spring of 1943.  The portion of the work

usually assigned to Corps of Engineers was accomplished

by personnel from the Seabees, Coast Artillery and the

ACS.  The technical portion of the work was performed by

ACS and Coast Artillery radar technicians.  This same pro-

cedure was followed at the installation of SCR-296 sets

at Cape Chiniak and Miller Point.  The SCR-582 on Long

Island was installed by ACS and Coast Artillery men.  The

average length of time required to install an SCR-296

from ground-breaking to final testing was five weeks.
