Summary
This report describes the activities of an estimated 1,000 DoD personnel, both military and civilian, in Operation HARDTACK II, a nuclear testing series conducted in Nevada from 12 September to 30 October 1958. The series consisted of 37 events: 19 weapons tests and 18 safety experiments. DoD activities included scientific test participation, staff support, and air support. Radiological safety procedures were established and implemented to minimize individual radiation exposures.
