9. Problem faced by command general at Persian gulf
war
• The Second Marine Aircraft wing had to plan its
activities in a fast-changing political and military
environment.
• The commanding general and his staff of about
110 needed large amounts of information, such as
personnel availability, logistics status, and weather
conditions and forecasts.
• Getting all this information via telephones and
paper reports was a slow and possibly inaccurate
task.

10. • Using RediMaster (from American
Information Systems), a local area
network, and information downloaded
from a mainframe or PCs, and EIS was
constructed that could provide the
commanders with the needed information
in seconds.

processing, a spreadsheet, graphics
software, and anything else that could be
used to support commanders.
