HEADQUARTERS, DETACHMENT D 1100TH USAF SPECIAL REPORTING GROUP Campbell Air Force Base Camp Campbell, Kentucky
7 April 1949
333/1 SUBJECT: Security Inspection
TO: Commanding General Sandia Base Albuquerque, New Mexico
1. Reference is made to secret letter, your headquarters, dated 1 April 1949, Subject: Security Inspection.
2. a. Guard Orders have been amended directing that the electric gate be closed between 1700 hours until 0700 hours the following day. b. Locks have replaced the bolts in all inspection access gates in the outer fence. c. Inspection ports on both bridges are now provided with locks. d. The final draft of our alert plan has been reviewed and will be published and distributed for study to operating personnel. It is desired to point out that the alert plan is incomplete. A stockpile custodian has not been assigned here; his part in the alert plan has been outlined only. Furthermore, since the 11th Airborne Division is not in place yet, only temporary arrangements for defense have been made. Final form of the overall alert plan will be submitted to your headquarters for approval as soon as conditions will allow. In the interim period, it is felt that the temporary alert plan we have prepared is adequate. A copy of this plan will be dispatched to your headquarters in the near future. e. All jeep radios are now installed in jeeps. f. Although not entirely satisfactory, radio communication with the Camp Campbell Military Police has been in effect for some time and was in effect at the time of the Security inspection. Permanent arrangements for radio communication with Camp Campbell Military Police are delayed pending arrival of radio frequency crystals that fit the Military Police net frequency.
