              As additional communication equipment was unloaded at Al Jubayl
          and forwarded to the main command post, services and communications
          support became increasingly reliable and redundancy for internal camp
          communications and external switching became possible. one of the
          most remarkable communications systems used during the war was the
          wide area computer network (WAN). The WAN provided a record
          communications capability between principal staff members at each of
          the command posts throughout the MEP. Whole OPORDERS could be sent
          over the LAN in a fraction of the time required to send an outline
          plan over a voice net. The WAN Chat mode also provided an effective
          interactive communications means, even when voice communications were
          degraded.
