With computers that pass combat orders quickly and sensors that see the enemy better on the battlefield, the high-tech division "just clobbered them," says Brigadier General Keith Kellogg of the Army's Training and Doctrine Command...

His lieutenants moved about Cali with laptop computers linked, via radio, to a mainframe that contained such information as records of every long-distance call into and out of the city.
