Exercise DESERT ROCK I.

ADA078556

Publication Date	1951
Page Count	244
Abstract	The purpose of Exercise Desert Rock I was to test current doctrines to the extent afforded, to determine the effect of an atomic weapon of our equipment and materiel, to indoctrinate personnel, test their psychological reaction during the tactical employment of the weapon, and to the degree possible, determine what physical protective measures can be taken against the weapon. The Exercise was successful, and the mission assigned was accomplished. It is realized that no major change in doctrine can be developed from one test, but much valuable information has been obtained which, if correlated with data from other exercises, will furnish definite facts upon which to proceed.
