Service with the Signal Corps by Louis R. Fortescue Pdf
During the Civil War Major Albert J. Myer created a system for transmitting information the would revolutionize military communications and lead to the creation of the U.S. Army Signal Corps. The Signal Corps originally met with resistance, particularly from high-ranking Regular Army officers, but the men who serviced in the Corps took great pride in their duties and eventually succeeded in changing everyones opinion. This is Louis R. Fortescue's memoir that presents a unique look at the Corps and important insights into the war as a whole. "This book provides very informative and fascinating insight into the experiences of a Signal Corps officer of the Union Army." Steven J. Rausch, U.S. Army Signal Corps HIstorian.
Getting the message through: A Branch History of the U.S. Army Signal Corps by Rebecca Robbins Raines Pdf
Getting the Message Through, the companion volume to Rebecca Robbins Raines' Signal Corps, traces the evolution of the corps from the appointment of the first signal officer on the eve of the Civil War, through its stages of growth and change, to its service in Operation DESERT SHIELD/DESERT STORM. Raines highlights not only the increasingly specialized nature of warfare and the rise of sophisticated communications technology, but also such diverse missions as weather reporting and military aviation. Information dominance in the form of superior communications is considered to be sine qua non to modern warfare. As Raines ably shows, the Signal Corps--once considered by some Army officers to be of little or no military value--and the communications it provides have become integral to all aspects of military operations on modern digitized battlefields. The volume is an invaluable reference source for anyone interested in the institutional history of the branch.
