Foreword
That the Army requires effective communications in an era known as the Information Age is axiomatic. Established in 1860 with the appointment of the first signal officer, the Signal Corps has had permanently organized units since late in the nineteenth century. Their growth in size and numbers over time highlights the increasingly specialized nature of warfare and the rise of sophisticated communications technology.
This volume, compiled by Rebecca Robbins Raines, serves as a companion to her narrative branch history, Getting the Message Through, published by the Center in 1996. Together these volumes provide an invaluable reference tool for anyone interested in the institutional or organizational history of the Signal Corps.
Successful military organizations depend upon the pride of their members to sustain their standards. The Army Lineage Series, of which this volume is the most recent addition, is designed to enhance the esprit de corps of United States Army units. The lineages, honors, and heraldic items included in this volume should increase the historical awareness and hence the pride of signal Soldiers. Thus it will contribute to the esprit de corps of the Signal Corps and instill within its members a greater appreciation for the history and heritage of their branch.
