Bentley-Walker will ship the dish to you before you mobilize so you will be able to have internet for your element as soon as you hit the ground.
We were able to get a personal network up and running in less than 24 hours and it was easy enough to move when my platoon did our rotations to the AFCOPs. We might of not had showers or hot chow, but we had internet!
If anyone wants specifics let me know. I can start a personal internet lessons learned thread.
