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.
