(U) ORGANIZATION: The organization of the Defense Atomic Support Agency (DASA) and of Field Command was under a constant-state of review throughout this period. The DASA Headquarters organization underwent an interim reorganization on 1 May 70, and received final approval for reorganization into a J-Staff structure effective 1 July 1970. It remains a joint command of all the Armed Forces -- Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps. Head- quarters Field Command underwent only minor organizational readjustments to compensate for loss of all but two of the command bases; consolidation of the two remaining bases into a single base and a supported operating site; and numerous reductions in personnel. The structure of the Command Section of the Field Command Headquarters was reorganized on 6 April 1970 to improve command and I- control. The revised organization is now composed of a Commander, a Deputy Commander, a Chief of Staff and an Administrative Office of the Command Section. The various staff directorates and activities remained as reported in previous reports as modified by individual sections in this report. B 1 u....- IV.
