1. The meeting was held to bring JMARC personnel up-to-date on
Saturday's special meeting of the Special Group and on the DIM. thinking
resulting from that meeting.
2. Mr. Bissell felt that meeting had sufficiently reviewed the out.
� standing problems to permit the following conclusions:
a. We have to be ready to evacuate TRAY of ground trainees,
at least temporarily in the case of an as yet unfixed OAS inspection.
� b. We can plan to use Fort Randolph for up to 200 trainees .
either for temporary holding or for longer term training. ..
_
� c. We can anticipate the use of a U.S. installation for
holding evacuees and possibly also for longer term training.
d. There is no objection to continuing air training at MADD
nor to the use of Guatemala or Nicaragua for basing air strikes.
e. Even U TRAY is evacuated, it could well be continued
In use for the training of Guatemalans. �
,
3. There was some discussion as to the cover arrangements which
might be arranged for any Z.1. installation chosen for a training area. After
- reviewing the probable expense of activating a secure area and the likely
difficulty of creating a "refugee" cover, the balance of the discussion was
. concerned within. about which it was agreed:
a. JMARC would promptly ascertain from DDS and OTR what
lacIlic_.:facilities were available and what problems existed in regard to.
its possible use to train up to 600 men.
� �
b. DDP would explore the various facets of air evacuation .
from TRAY to eloR including cost, time, and security. In'
regard to the latter, it was suggested that JMGLEAR aircraft--: �-
lknd crews might evacuate to Del RiO with AF 130'. transshipping
therefrom.' _
