Special Engineer Detachment - "Scientists in Uniform"
According to 'LANL: History' web site, 'The partial answer to the labor shortage at Los Alamos came from an Army program that identified enlisted personnel with technical skills, such as machining, or who had some science education beyond high school. Those identified were organized into the Special Engineer Detachment, or SED.' The Manhattan Project Heritage Preservation Association, Inc. (MPHPA) has a mission to 'Preserving, Exhibiting, Interpreting and Teaching the History of the Manhattan Project' . It also provides access to the directory listing of 'Special Engineer Detachment - "Scientists in Uniform"'.
