Signal support is the collective, integrated, and synchronized use of information systems, services and resources and it encompasses the following disciplines: communications, automation, visual information, records management, and printing and publications. The Role of the Signal Officer: Inherent with the Signal Corps’ mission are command, supervisory, managerial, and technical leadership for the engineering, acquisition, design, programming, installation, operation, and maintenance of information systems in both fixed and mobile configurations. This requires the integration and/or interconnection of diverse types of automation, communications, visual information, records management, and printing and publications equipment and systems into local area and wide area information networks.
