       ly capable to meet the demands of field commanders and higher
       tority. operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm showed how such an
    operation could be put into action given the resources. What was
    lacking for the Casualty Section, initially, were the material

    to begin operations once the connex    box is opened. Appendix I is a
    list of suggested supplies.

        N. COMMUNICATIONS - There was a    requirement for one international
    line, one TAC line, an ELMS and LAN    capability, PLADS for Marine
    Hospital Liaisons (required when Navy stops reporting by name,
    condition and reverts to numbers) and telefax machine. The PLADS were
    not used this time due to time constraints, however, they were
    available if needed. The international line was most useful when
    talking to HQMC and European commands. When all commands are on the
    ELMS/LAN system, communications will be more accurate and timely.
    In any future conflict these lines of communication for a casualty
    watch must be established posthaste.
