Abstract
This manual describes the intelligence activities of the Signal Corps. At that time, the Signal Corps was a bureau within the Headquarters, Department of the Army, as well as a branch of the Army to which soldiers were commissioned and assigned. The Signal Corps developed and supplied the army with signal and photographic equipment, trained personnel and units for service with the forces in the field, provided the army with communications and photographic services, and provided communications, signal, and technical intelligence. This manual describes the intelligence responsibilities and functions of the Signal Corps and the role of signal intelligence units with forces in the field.
Chapter 2 (Pages 4-25) describes the activities of the Signal Intelligence Service, the predecessor of the post-war Army Security Agency and the National Security Agency.
