Abstract:

The Army needs more computers. These computers should be Army-issued microcom puters at Battalion level and below to take advantage of th e significant garrison and potential field benefits offered by micros at those levels of command. The helpful software for these micros developed by army personnel or obtained from outside sources must be properly managed by a designated proponent and distributed through command channels. Microcomputer use at the Small Unit Level MUSUL can supply MUSCEL to our modern army. Only in this way can our army of the future take full advantage of the technology of today. Our soldiers and our armys commitment to maximum combat readiness deserve no less. Also the army begins to provide he necessary microcomputer resources, battalions and companies must shift gears quickly to take advantage of this new combat multiplier. The Battalion Executive Officer is the person who can make that happen. Author
