Islanders from Elkini Atoll will arrive on Rongerik to establish a temporary village while homes are built. A 157 person group will live in tent houses, cleared palm sites, and thatched roofs using paidanus leaves. Rongerik is larger and lusher than Bikini, with abundant coconuts and seafood as crabs roam the rocks. A Navy seaplane brought Lt Comdr Harold Grieve to draft the new village, with Lt Ged W. Stivewall and Lt Ged Charlie Vaughan assisting.
