The day of the military signalman is considered the immediate birthday of the communications troops. Since 1919, it is celebrated on October 20. Mainly because on this day the final formation of the communications department took place as part of the Field Headquarters and headed by the chief manager - the communications chief. Contributed to this order of the Revolutionary Military Council.
Then, the communications service was allocated to a special service of specialized headquarters, and the communications troops - to special independent troops. It was this that served as the foundation for the further structure of modern communications troops. And without them, it becomes impossible to control the Armed Forces, since military communications are the main material basis for this.
The speed of command and control of the troops, as well as the timeliness and accuracy of the use of weapons and military equipment, depend very much on how well and efficiently the efficiency of this system is established. Therefore, the Day of the military signalman is a holiday of responsible, efficient, attentive and courageous people.
During its development, military communications have overcome a difficult and fairly long path, which is inextricably linked with the creation of the Armed Forces, with the methods and methods of using military art, with its constant improvement and gradual change in its forms.
At first, these were the most primitive audio and visual communications, designed to directly transmit commands and signals to the battlefield. At present, these are modern multichannel automated systems that are able to provide communication at unlimited distances (practically).
Regardless of whether stationary or moving objects are used, the signal is recorded both on water, and on land, and in air, and under water. And on the Day of the military signalman, it is worth noting only those who worked or are working in this field, but also those who have perfected the entire system for so long.
Today, it is a complex multifunctional organism, which includes many nodes that differ in their purpose. In addition, it consists of thousands of kilometers of radio links. It consists of radio relay, wireline, tropospheric and other types of communication.
The Armed Forces obviously need military signalmen, as in the air. Since the use of military means is operative and effective is possible only if these people responsibly perform their own work. And at least once a year, congratulations on the Day of the signalman must bear the words of gratitude and respect.
These professionals are always on guard of our peace. And not for nothing that they receive their orders, awards and simple words of gratitude. After all, their work is far from easy. Only responsible and courageous people who are always ready to receive an alarm can work here. And what is very important is to respond quickly to it. And such speed of action and the coordination of the work of all units has been saving human lives for quite some time now.
Military communications day is a celebration of all those related to military communications. Due attention should be paid to the high professionalism of the commanders, the field training of units and formations, and the readiness for personnel to carry out tasks of varying complexity. And thousands of soldiers carry out their duty with honor, taking part in counter-terrorism and peacekeeping operations.
Many Russian inventors and scientists have contributed to the development of communications in wartime. So, during the war, signalmen warned of danger, about where and how the enemy’s troops were located, and transmitted to the soldiers important information received from the military command. Today these people are on guard of our peace, protecting our lives.
And on their professional holiday, they not only accept congratulations on the Day of the military signalman, but also receive gifts from relatives, friends, colleagues, and, of course, do not remain without awards and bonuses from the leadership.
