~RET annex on Logistic Support spelled out in great detail the procedures that would be followed for the acquisi- tion and supply of materiel (and materials) necessary to the air training operation, sharply defining the respective roles of JMATE and JMCLEAR in such acquisi- tions. OPS Plan 160 AD-S also provided for the movement of the two Air National Guard dual-controlled B-26's black to JMADD, suggesting that HBILKA or KWCANINE \Pilots be utilized to make the L- ~ transfer. It was hoped that the planes could be re- turned to the Air National Guard within 30 days, but it did provide that they should be held until replace- ment aircraft were on hand. Those B-26's which were to be refurbished by the USAF were also to be flown black out of the US to JMADD, and the expectation was , that the HBILKA crews would be utilized to the greatest degree possible for such ferrying flights. Interest- ingly enough, sterilization of the ANG B-26's at Eglin was scheduled to be completed within a period of six days following arrival of the aircraft. The first four B-26's being acquired from the USAF, however, were apparently going to require six weeks. ~ - 99 -
