Royal New Zealand Corps of Signals
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Signals Corps provides, co-ordinates and operates the communications networks of the New Zealand Army.
Modern signals equipment is essential to the Army, demanding skilled operators and technicians. Because communications must be maintained even under the worst of conditions, Signallers must be expert tradespeople. They must also accept a high degree of personal responsibility because the lives of soldiers can often rely on the fast and accurate transmission of battlefield information.
The Corps is comprised of Systems Engineers who configure and implement networks, Information Systems Operators who maintain and operate networks, and Communication Systems Operators who operate all sorts of communications equipment and process signals traffic over voice and data circuits.
Regular Squadrons:
(2 Signal Squadron includes 20 Troop which is made up of Territorial personnel.)
The corps school is known as the Royal New Zealand School of Signals and is located in Waiouru.
