The 'Signal Corps has a problem sim- ilar to that of the military police in that it must provide small teams of men for wire construction ,wire maintenance, radio opera- , tion, messenger service and other signal func- tions on a continuous basis. Platoons of the Signal Company are organized into teams. Each team provides sufficient men to per- form a function on a 24-hour basis. For: ex- ample, a construction maintenance team con- sists of nine men, providing three reliefs of three men each. Each medium-power radio team consists of three men, providing three, reliefs of one operator per shift. If this team concept were applied to-the. Infantry Division Military Police Company, the resulting organization might resemble Team Organistion for an the published chart.
