The only thing missing is the CONEX container that provided a 24-hr protected work environment. Without that, the FDC would be out of commission and unable to operate with the weather extremes found in the jungle. The "tent FDC" shown was a "first effort", but very untenable; we would be chasing maps and papers all over the place.
