Fifteen radar picket destroyer stations were designated around the island of Okinawa during the invasion campaign. Their locations were specified in terms of range and bearing from Point Bolo on Okinawa, and picket destroyers were to stay within a radius of 5,000 yards from station center. Not all stations were occupied at one time, and the Officer in tactical Command would specify on a daily basis what stations would be occupied.
