Project Co-ordination Staff

Edgewood Arsenal, Status Summary of the Relative Values of AC, CK and CG as Bomb Fillings, Project co-ordination Staff Report No. 1 (10 July 1944). 

Evaluation of United Kingdom and American equipment was accomplished more readily than interchangeability. In April 1S>44 the Advisory Committee on the Effectiveness of Chemical Warfare Materiel in the Tropics, consisting of representatives of the CWS, the Canadian Field Experimental Station, and the British Army, was established to provide operational data for planning chemical warfare in the tropical theaters of war. This committee was served by the Project Co-ordination Staff which evaluated chemical warfare tests carried out in the United States, Great Britain, Canada, Australia, and India. The staff considered all factors involved in the use of chemical weapons, including weather and terrain, protective devices, and weapons and munitions.

At the NEA Data Bank the responsibility for the overall co-ordination of the Project was with Federico Mompean who until his departure in September 2007, was in charge of the preparation of the successive drafts to the semifinal version, and updating the NEA thermodynamic database. Myriam Illemassene (until December 2006) and Jane Perrone, (who also oversaw the production of the final version) were responsible, most capably, for the editing of the numerous drafts. The present volume owes a great deal to the invaluable efforts of these NEA staff... 

Organising cover for absent staff One co-ordinator, for instance, is unable always to manage cover for absent staff because of her part-time nature. Therefore the job reverts to the Inclusion Project manager, but only if the appropriate message is passed on by the school. 

Regular liaison. The geographical spread of the Inclusion Proj ect, together with part-time work and the exigencies of timetables, means that person-to-person contacts of Inclusion Project staff are not always as regular as they need to be for good co-ordination.
