This book traces the history of the U.S. Army Signal Corps from its
beginnings on the eve of the American Civil War through its
participation in the Persian Gulf conflict during the early 1990s.
Over the course of its 135 years of existence, the Signal Corps has
often been at the forefront of the revolutionary changes that have
taken place in communications technology. It contributed
significantly, for example, to the development of radar and the
transistor. In today's information age, the Signal Corps continues
its tradition of leadership and innovation on the digitized
battlefields of the twenty-first century. While accounts of the
branch's service during the Civil War, World War II, and Vietnam
have been published, little has been written about the rest of the
Signal Corps' accomplishments. This book fills out the picture. It
shows today's signal soldiers where their branch has been and
points the way to where it is going. The reader, whether military
or civilian, can follow the growth and development of one of the
Army's most sophisticated technical branches. By telling the Signal
Corps' story in a comprehensive manner, this volume makes a
significant contribution to the history of the Army. Douglas D.
