Troops to Move Seconds After Next Atomic Test
Army troops will advance from fox holes within seconds of the next atomic blast at the Nevada Proving Ground. The sixth and brightest spring detonation prompted plans for 1,500 troops from Camp Desert Rock to participate, with 1,000 comp troops and 600 observers already moving in shortly after the previous test. The blast, though unseen by Las Vegas residents 65 miles away, lit the night sky with an orange fireball and mushroom cloud as a 300 foot tower recorded the sequence.
