How should a soldier in Iraq get satellite internet access?

If someone is on an Army base in Iraq, what are the options for satellite internet there? He’s allowed to have a large dish. Would that help? He wants the fastest he can get, but I’d like to know all the options so I know how much it will cost. I’ve heard it’s very expense. Is it hard to set up, like to point the dish at the satellite? He doesn’t need TV, just internet. Obviously an ISP that will do business in English by email instead of by phone is a must.

I thought we went to war to defend ourselves. I watched the media briefing in Washington and the people in charge of the war in Iraq kept talking about our investment there.
