This enclosure describes the participation of Joint Task Force Eight in Operation DOMINIC, the nuclear test series conducted during the Spring, Summer, Fall of 1962. Additional information on the participation of subordinate units is also covered in a general manner. It covers the time period from the initial activation of Joint Task Force EIGHT until termination of the operational period for Operation DOMINIC. It describes the magnitude of the tasks accomplished, problems encountered, and recommendations for organizations involved in future nuclear test operations. This report is not intended to be a scientific treatise on the technical aspects of the operation as these points are covered in technical publications of the scientific laboratories participating. Rather it is a general description of the support afforded the scientific effort and a brief outline of the scientific information gleaned during the operation.
