ARMY COMMUNICATOR 150Th Anniversary Edition Chief of Signal Significant accomplishments behind, challenges ahead We have certainly come a long way over the past 150 years. Beginning in 1860 with the inventor of the very first formal visual signaling system for the Army, Major Albert J. Myer, our first Chief of Signal, to the advanced information technologies we have today; it has been a tumultuous climb for all those who served in our Signal Regiment. Significant changes have coursed throughout the world during the past three years as we orchestrated communications in two combat theaters and advanced American interests globally. We are downsizing our military forces in Iraq where elections have taken place twice, demonstrating that this country is well on its way to establishing democracy and becoming a stabilized nation in the Middle East. As the threat in Afghanistan continues to grow, we are anticipating an increased military presence in that country for the foreseeable future. Natural disasters continue devastating areas of the United States and other parts of the world. The hybrid nature of the threats to our nation are forcing us to become more agile and adaptable as we learn to operate in complex, uncertain environments. The way our young Soldiers and leaders learn today is very different from the way our senior members of the force learned 10 or 20 years ago. The dramatic growth of information technologies fielded to our forces has placed unprecedented demands on our Regimental Soldiers at all echelons. For us, all these changes in our world demand change within our Regiment and institution. Over the past three years we continued modifying our enlisted force structure to ensure we have the right MOS to meet the requirements of a modular force. Our Signal warrant officer corps doubled in size and we are in the midst of transforming our WO Corps to address the need for increased expertise in cyber operations. With the help of many others, we created a world class training environment – both institutionally and virtually - for our Signal Soldiers of all ranks to become better equipped with the skills necessary to support our modular brigade-focused force. We established education programs for our civilian IT work force. Signal forces continue deploying throughout the world, providing world class support to our warfighting and nation building entities. Our PEOs and PMs continue equipping our forces with tremendous capabilities. Our FA 24 and 53 officers continue providing significant impact for our Army. They offer the required expertise in the most complicated networked environment ever. We continue assessing and executing changes in our signal force design and structure incorporating our lessons learned supporting the modular, expeditionary Army. The Reserve and National Guard signal forces are providing ready forces deploying alongside our active forces throughout the world. Our families continue loving, supporting and sacrificing for us. As your 34th Chief of Signal, I remain so very proud to have BG Jeff Foley been a small part of this history for the past three years. My wife Chief of Signal Beth and I extend to you all our thanks for your tremendous leadership and patriotism. Your selflessactions and sacrifices enable our Army to be a better place to serve and our nation a better place to live.

Army Communicator 1 The U.S. Army Signal Corps This is the continuing story of U.S. Army Signal Corps Soldiers, who have forged an honorable legacy of selfless duty in periods of conflict and in times of peace for 150 years. The Signal Corps began in a chaotic time of crisis to accomplish a vital mission. Throughout the Corps’ glorious history, Signal Soldiers at great personal risk, have repeatedly risen to meet the challenges of battlefield communications with innovative techniques and the best tools available. Today the quest continues unabated as Signal Soldiers strive to maintain digital technology meeting command communication needs and ensuring superiority that consistently allows warfighters to “get the message through.” “Watchful for the Country” The Regimental crest, or distinctive insignia, is the symbol of Regimental affiliation for Signal Soldiers worldwide. The motto “Pro Patria Vigilans” (Watchful for the Country) was adopted from the Signal School insignia and serves to portray the cohesiveness of Signal Soldiers and their affiliation with their Regimental home. The gold laurel wreath depicts the myriad achievements through strength made by the Regiment since its inception. The battle star centered in the wreath represents formal recognition for participation in combat. It adorned a Signal flag and was first awarded to Signal Soldiers in 1862. The battle star typifies the close operational relationship between the combat arms and the Signal Regiment. The design of the eagle holding in his talons a golden baton, from which descends a Signal flag, originated in 1865 as a symbol of faithful service and good fellowship for those who served together in the Civil War and was called the “Order of the Signal Corps.” Cover: Army Communicator Summer 2010 highlights the Signal Corps’ sesquicentennial beginning with Albert J. Myer in June of 1860. Also shown on the cover is a logo designed by Billy Cheney in commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the Signal Corps. It features a Signal orange shield with 150 Years of Excellence emblazoned in gold and white in the center. The years 1860 and 2010 are imprinted in white with a Soldier waving the wigwag flag on the left behind the 1860 and a modern day Soldier erecting a satellite dish on the right behind the 2010. Signal flags are set on the outer edges with the motto, “Voice of Command” and “United States Army Signal Corps.” Cover by Billy Cheney 2 Summer - 2010 Signal History “Signaling the Assault on Fort McAllister” 13 December 1864 A Don Troiani painting depicting a scene from the Battle of Fort McAllister, Georgia, commissioned by the Signal Corps Regimental Association in 2010 and donated to the Army.

    US History/Civil War 1 US History/Civil War Politics Before The War In the presidential election of 1860 the Republican Party nominated Abraham Lincoln as its candidate. Party spirit soared as leaders declared that slavery could spread no farther. The party also promised a tariff for the protection of industry and pledged the enactment of a law granting free homesteads to settlers who would help in the opening of the West. The Democrats were not united. Southerners split from the party and nominated Vice President John C. Breckenridge of Kentucky for president. Stephen A. Douglas was the nominee of northern Democrats. Diehard Whigs from the border states, formed into the Constitutional Union Party, nominated John C. Bell of Tennessee. Lincoln and Douglas competed in the North, and Breckenridge and Bell in the South. Lincoln won only 39 percent of the popular vote, but had a clear majority of 180 electoral votes, carrying all 18 free states. Bell won Tennessee, Kentucky and Virginia; Breckenridge took the other slave states except for Missouri, which was won by Douglas. Despite his poor electoral showing, Douglas trailed only Lincoln in the popular vote. Lincoln's election made South Carolina's secession from the Union a foregone conclusion. Causes of the Civil War The top five causes of the Civil War are: • Social and Economic differences between the North and South • States verus Federal Rights • The fight between slave and non-slave advocates • Abolition growth • Election of Abraham Lincoln [1] Dixie's Constitution By the end of March, 1861, the Confederacy had created a constitution and elected its first and only president, Jefferson Davis.

It keeps growing and growing, and you want to be part of its growing pains." Many of the local communities have become very attached to Fort Monmouth because of the friendship instilled...not for just a war period but for as long as...Fort Monmouth...will inhabit Monmouth County. - From “A Brief History of the Beginnings of the Fort Monmouth Radio Laboratories,” Rebecca Klang, 1942 FOREWORD The name “Monmouth” has been synonymous with the defense of freedom since our country’s inception. Scientists, engineers, program managers, and logisticians here have delivered technological breakthroughs and advancements to our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen for almost a century. These innovations have included the development of FM radio and radar, bouncing signals off the moon to prove the feasibility of extraterrestrial radio communication, the use of homing pigeons through the late-1950s, frequency hopping tactical radios, and today’s networking capabilities supporting our troops in Overseas Contingency Operations.

    Vol. 3 No. 2.3 _______ ________________________________ _____ _ _ February 2006 Commemorating those who fought for Liberty: Cowpens 225th Anniversary Sons of the American Revolution compatriots honor the brave troops and fallen heroes of the Patriots’ Victory at Cowpens. Photo by William T. Graves. “It is not a field of a few acres of ground, but a cause, that we are defending, and whether we defeat the enemy in one battle, or by degrees, the consequences will be the same.” Thomas Paine, 1777 "The Crisis" i 1 On January 28, 2006 at Hopewell Presbyterian Church, Beattie's Ford Road in Huntersville, North Carolina, a memorable commemorative ceremony was held honoring the life and death of North Carolina Patriot militia Gen. William Lee Davidson and the brave Patriots who defended Cowen's Ford of the Catawba River on February 1, 1781 from the rapid advance of Lord Cornwallis' army from Ramsour's Mill. To the lament of bagpipes and under the majestic beauty of the Carolina blue skies, heritage societies laid wreaths by the memorial to the Patriot hero. In the historic sanctuary of Hopewell Presbyterian Church, founded in 1762 by Scott Irish Presbyterian immigrants in Northern Mecklenburg, North Carolina, SCAR editors, Charles B. Baxley and David P. Reuwer, discussed the conditions that created and sustained the American Revolution as epitomized by the rear guard action of Gen. William Lee Davidson and 300 brave militia who defended Cowan’s Ford against the advance of Lord Cornwallis' southern army. Miss Megan Dunbar, (left) of Lincolnton, NC sings “America the Beautiful”.

Associate Professor of Physics, Iowa State ColleQe (Abstract of an address Qiven before the Forestry Club) After efficient patroling, the next problem confronting those engaged in preventing the destruction of our forests by fire is the problem of an easy, sure, and speedy means of communica­ tion. The means of communication at present in use seem to be inadequate to the needs of the service. Ordinary telegraph and telephone lines cover too limited an area and in many cases will be too far away for the patrolman to reach without a great loss of time. The service is easily interrupted by the breaking or grounding of wires under windfalls. The cost of construction is high. The wigwag and heliograph are good for only a few miles at best and can not be used at night or when the air is smoky.

Many of them have appeared in magazines or in the "Birch-Bark Roll" thait has come out annually for ten years. But this is the first time in which a comprehensive collection has been made of the activities, customs, laws, and amusements that have been developed in my camps.

Of this class are the "Life Histories of Northern Animals," "Animal Stories," "Sign Language" and "Forestry," which appear as separate works. All are merely parts of a scheme that I have always considered my life work, namely, the development or revival of Woodcraft as a schocrf for Manhood. By Woodcraft I mean outdoor life in its broadest sense and the plan has ever been with me since boyhood. Woodcraft is the first of all the sciences. It was Woodcraft that made man out of brutish material, and Woodcraft in its highest form may save him from decay.
