given time Therefore a me ximU ll of 13 missiles can be in transit at There are other factors to be considered such as the capability • of the weapon teams to de-mate and package warheads for separate air ship ant Since each dolly must complete a round trip to the operational site before the next missile ce n be loaded the 5- day round trip time for the C-124 is 'a controlling factor I J On this basis it is considered that the minimu n feasible time for 'redepl yment of 311 missiles to the ·coNUS will be approximately 20 days • I DECLASSIFIED Authority MO 1 10 4 ··c - -I ' • • I l II l • I I
