Royal New Zealand Corps of Signals

Royal New Zealand Corps of Signals

The Royal New Zealand Signals Corps provides, co-ordinates and operates the communications networks of the New Zealand Army.

Modern signal 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.

The Corps comprises "systems engineers" who configure and implement networks, "information systems operators" who maintain and operate networks, and "communication system operators" who operate all sorts of communications equipment and process signals traffic over voice and data circuits.

The Corps consist of two regular squadrons. The first is the "2 Signal Squadron" in Linton, which includes 3 troops, Headquarters, and a Q-Store made up of Regular Force personnel. The second one is the "3 Signal Squadron" in Burnham. The corps school is known as the School of Signals and is located in Waiouru.
