Summary
This report describes the activities of DoD personnel, both military and civilian, in Operation RANGER, the first atmospheric nuclear weapons testing series, conducted in Nevada from 25 January to 6 February 1951. The RANGER series consisted of one high-explosive shot and five nuclear shots: ABLE, BAKER, EASY, BAKER-2, and FOX. DoD activities included scientific and diagnostic experiments, DoD air and land support activities, and radiological safety activities. In addition, radiological safety procedures were established and implemented to minimize the radiation exposures of test participants.
