Established in 1860 by Albert J. Myer, the Signal Regiment has been vital to every military conflict. We have
always done our part to defend this great nation. For example, on July 2, 1863, during the Battle of Gettysburg,
it was a Signaleer that observed the movement of Confederate forces on the Army flank and “Got the Message
Through” to leaders which helped prevent defeat! Throughout history, the Signal Corps has been involved in
multiple conflicts, peacekeeping missions, and humanitarian efforts, showcasing our ability to be “Watchful for
the Country.”
We are currently 58,000 strong and in Phase III of our MOS con-vergence. As we talk to our
Signaleers across the various formations, they seem to be adjusting well to their new responsibilities and have
been performing above and beyond expectations. We have continued to welcome data literacy with open arms and
have encouraged and place significant emphasis on the attendance of the Network Communication System Specialist
(25H Y2) Course, Digital Master Gunners Course, and S6 Course. We are committed to ensuring the Signal
formations have the training needed to accomplish their mission, and we will adjust as needed based on feedback
from the C2 Fix assessments.
The future of the Signal Corps is promising! As technology continues to advance, so do we. The Signal Regiment
will focus on adapting, training, and operating cutting-edge communications systems and technologies to ensue
seamless and secure communications for large scale combat operations. Additionally, we will collaborate with our
cyber and electronic warfare teammates to meet the ever-changing needs of the military in the digital age.
No matter the location or formation, our signal professionals continue be loud and proud! Let’s not forget our
signal heritage. May we continue to remind ourselves of the importance of an adaptable, agile, reliable Signal
Regiment! Pro Patria Vigilans! The Signal Corps Soldiers, NCOs, and officers stand ready to provide reliable
communications to warfighting commanders, because “No Comms, No Bombs."
