PowerPoint and Military Intelligence

Apparently it is common practice in the US Navy to provide the daily AM combat intelligence briefings via PowerPoint – prepared the night before by the intelligence watch officer. This practice is decried in the July Naval Institute Proceedings (Network Centric Warefare – MacKrell)as a) tedious process and b) difficult/impossible to keep current.

I cannot imagine a worse device to transmit combat intelligence given PowerPoint’s low resolution and low bandwidth.
