 The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were carried out on 6 and 9 August 1945 . On 11 August , Groves phoned Warren and ordered him to organize a survey team and proceed to Guam , and thence to Japan to evaluate the effect of the atomic bombs and take measures to insure the safety of Allied troops occupying the cities . Initially the survey team was to accompany the assault troops of the III Amphibious Corps and the V Amphibious Corps in the invasion of Japan , but Japan surrendered on 14 August , the day the survey team departed San Francisco by air . The survey team arrived on Tinian on 17 August , where it was split into two parties , one under Warren and the other under Friedell . Warren 's party , equipped with portable geiger counters , arrived in Hiroshima by air on 8 September as part of a group headed by Brigadier General Thomas F. Farrell that also included Brigadier General James B. Newman Jr and Japanese Rear Admiral Masao Tsuzuki , who acted as a translator . They remained in Hiroshima until 14 September and then surveyed Nagasaki from 19 September to 8 October . They were impressed by both the damage done by the atomic bombs and the extensive Japanese preparations for an American invasion .
