	Enewetak - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Enewetak (or Eniwetok) is an atoll in the Marshall Islands of the central Pacific Ocean.
		Along with the rest of the Marshalls, Enewetak was captured by Japan in 1914 and mandated to them by the League of Nations in 1920.
		After the war, the residents were evacuated, often involuntarily, and the atoll was used for nuclear testing as part of the U.S. Pacific Proving Grounds.

	Building the Navy's Bases: Eniwetok Atoll, in the Marshall Islands
		The atoll was to be developed principally as a Navy and Marine air base and a fleet anchorage, with no shore facilities other than a recreational area.
		The circumference of the atoll is 64 miles and the maximum elevation is 15 feet.
		While mopping-up continued in the northern section of the atoll, other Army and Marine units, on the morning of the 20th, landed on Eniwetok Island, the southeastern anchor of the atoll and the largest island of the group.

		Bikini, a coral atoll in the Marshall Islands was chosen as the location for the first test series due to its location away from regular air and sea routes, accessible ports, and land for test installations.
		In December 1947, Eniwetok Atoll was chosen for the second series of nuclear tests because it is larger than Bikini, with more land to build test facilities and emplace equipment.
		The AEC announced the selection of Eniwetok Atoll as a site for proving grounds because it "has the fewest inhabitants to care for and is isolated." The U.S. government will transfer the Eniwetok inhabitants to sites they will select and will reimburse them for the lands utilized.

		The same holds true for the assault on Eniwetok where the troops were again divided into a Northern and a Southern Landing Force, each engaged in the capture of the principal islands of the atoll and their neighboring satellites.
		From Mille, the principal atoll on the southeast, to Eniwetok at the extreme northwest, the distance is approximately 650 miles.
		Unlike the Kwajalein Atoll, the only passages into the lagoon are toward the south and as it was determined to assault the northern objective (Engebi Island) from the lagoon rather than the sea, the approach to it was made through entrances which were some miles distant.

		Eniwetok was also eminently appropriate for its relatively isolated location with an empty ocean area downwind, its small native population that would have to be relocated, the low likelihood of contaminating neighboring atolls, ease of logistic support, and favorable year-round climatic conditions.
		The atolls were out of the way of most western Pacific typhoons, and the prevailing northeastern winds would not subject nearby inhabited islands to deposition of radioactive fallout from nuclear tests.
		Eniwetok is located at latitude 11o21' N and longitude 162o20' E; Bikini lies 165 miles almost directly to the east, at latitude 11o35'N and longitude 165o20'E. About 47 small islands comprise Eniwetok atoll, which is about 20 miles wide and 30 miles long.

	HISTORY OF USS CABILDO DURING OPERATION GREENHOUSE
		Operation GREENHOUSE was an atmospheric nuclear test series consisting of four separate nuclear detonations and occurring at Eniwetok Atoll in the spring of 1951.
		The anchorage was in the southeast quadrant of the lagoon waters while the bursts occurred on islands in the northeast quadrant of the atoll’s perimeter.
		It seems obvious the radiological cloud fallout occurred as the result of this wind condition, although it was not expected to occur in the anchorage of the occupied islands of Japtan, Parry and Eniwetok.

Berquist, USNR, the Civil Affairs Officer, distributed a supply of food to the headman in order to establish goodwill and to relieve a dietary situation that might have grown serious.
		Scouts sent ashore to adjoining Leuen Island returned at 1535 and reported there were one Japanese policeman and a schoolteacher with a wife and three children on Namu Island at the extreme northwest of the atoll.
		Scouts were landed at dawn on Toka Island at the west of the lagoon (which is nearly circular) and at 1130 reported there were twenty-five Japanese on Ebon Island, the long snaky island at the south which is not unlike Majuro Island in shape and relative position.

		In the seizure of the northern portion of Kwajalein Atoll, Marine 4th Division casualties were 313 killed and 502 wounded.

		The Marines' attack on Parry Island on 22 February, followed by landings on smaller islands, eliminated the Japanese resistance and the entire Eniwetok atoll was in U.S. control by the evening of 23 February.

		To speed the progress on Eniwetok, the reserve troops, the 3d Battalion of the 22d Marines, were ordered to land early in the afternoon.

		Fleet Air Photographic-Reconnaissance VD-Four Squadron flying from this air base on Eniwetok made bi-weekly aerial photographic reconnaissance coverage of various islands in the Gilberts and Marshall groups that had been bypassed by our assault forces as the progress of the war in the Pacific was moving toward Japan at a rapid pace.
		This condition was a real problem because of the exposed position of the cameras to the elements at high altitude at very cold temperatures and then as the photo plane descended to a lower altitude where the air temperatures were warmer, the condensation became a problem.
		This map of the atoll was to be used for the purpose of designating the several hundred ship anchorage space allocations.
