Corps Communications for the Airland Battle
Abstract
A transitional structure for the forward deployed Corps Signal Brigades, the 22nd in V Corps and the 93rd in VII Corps, is necessary both to improve communications support for the Corps in the near term and to facilitate the transition to the Mobile Subscriber Equipment (MSE) in the future. The concept developed during this study describes a proposed transitional organization which will improve the Brigade's ability to operate in the near term while supporting the transition to Mobile Subscriber Equipment in FY 89/90. Data used in the development of the concept resulted from personal interviews with Combat Development personnel at the U.S. Army Signal Center as well as with the forward deployed Signal Brigade Commanders and their staffs during on-site visits to their area of operations. The proposed change accommodates Airland Battle Doctrine, integrates new signal equipment resulting fro force modernization between now and FY87, fixes existing deficiencies that unnecessarily complicates Brigade operations, and facilities the fielding of the Mobile Subscriber Equipment. Although the main focus of the study effort was on the forward deployed Corps, there are areas that apply to III Corps and its European mission as well as the 3rd Signal Brigade as they prepare to transition to MSE in FY 88.
