No idea what I'm doing. Trying to load CIB data

I was told "Hey we need a CGA.. build it". So I looked at Northrup Grumman's CGA software list as a start, a few days and an Excedrin bottle later, I have ArcGIS Desktop, ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS server for microsoft sql (express). Military Analyst, and Military Extensions (and a few MS patches to allow me to actually install some of the software). I also have three 2TB drives with all this NGA mapping data on it; CIB, DTED, and some others. If we load one of the CIB directories, all we get is a wire mesh and no maps. We're stuck. If this has been covered before and beaten to death, I apologize, I don't even know what to search for to hit relevant results. "How to load CIB files" Doesn't seem to give me much. It is possible that I'm missing software or following the wrong procedure, so hopefully some of you knowledgeable users can help point me in the right direction.

Hi Eric,

I have one CD loaded into an SDE database, and I created a map, and published it but I couldn't see the data locally in anything other than ArcMap. The clients that will be connecting to this when it's set up are in linux, I have a feeling this is going to be a pain. What is FGDB?

FGDB is short for File Geodatabase.
