Abstract
The purpose of this thesis is to describe a deficiency in current Marine Corps
logistic communication, investigate various technical solutions and select an
appropriate design to eliminate this deficiency. The intention is not to answer all of
the questions related to the topic, but to demonstrate that technology has advanced to
a point where it is possible to provide an inexpensive solution to this particularly
difficult problem. Although further research will be required, this thesis will indicate
that the technology is not only conceivable, practical and efficient, but well within
reach. The thrust is to marry a relatively new, but proven, technology with a real
world problem and to direct further attention to the effort, so that a practical solution
can become a reality. As a result, The Marine Corps could possess a faster, more
reliable logistic communication system while deployed and thus have an added
advantage durins a conflict.
