A signal corps is a military branch, responsible for military communications (signals). Many countries maintain a signal corps, which is typically subordinate to a country's army.
Military communication usually consists of radio, telephone, and digital communications.
The first dedicated signal corps of any nation was the United States Army Signal Corps, established in 1860.[1]
