What is Signal doctrine? (Military Question) - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

I have been reading a bit of military literature lately. I came across the term "Signal doctrine". After a google search, it's still not clear to me what exactly it refers to. Can anyone help?

Try this:

Capabilities Development Integration Directorate (CDID) Fort Gordon, Georgia

The Doctrine Section develops, writes, and updates Signal Regiment doctrine for the Army. Analyzes the impact of combat development actions and field initiatives to determine the doctrine integration requirements. Manages the doctrinal literature program for the Signal Center. Conducts and participates in special studies and Joint working groups pertaining to doctrine. Interfaces as required with Signal Center community, TRADOC Center/Schools, MACOM, and other agencies to include Joint DOD services for tactical information, pertaining to Signal doctrinal literature and doctrine and tactics training. Develops policy and procedures as they relate to the integration and development of Joint doctrine. Ensures cohesion of Joint doctrine by coordinating with appropriate Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, and other TRADOC centers and schools. Develops and writes doctrinal literature. Ensures constant coordination with agencies involved in authoring, reviewing, and producing doctrinal products. Maintains current development status on all proponent doctrinal products. Ensures approved concepts are included in appropriate doctrine and training products.

And something from another thing I ran across describing a relocation of a Signal Battalion in Korea:

Press Release # 29 September, 2004

A single ITSB is designed to provide theater commands with a full compliment of communications capabilities, including secure and non-secure networking, voice and data transmission via tactical satellite and line-of-sight equipment. This transformation supports Signal doctrine and the Army Chief of Staff’s transformation vision.

I think the doctrine is a fancy way of saying rules and guidlines for communications within one branch and between different branches of the military.

You hit it on the head.

Signal Doctrine is the rules and regulations regarding how specific information is communicated from one area to another within and between branches of the military.

Thanks for confirming. It was interesting how difficult it was to Google this subject. Never could find a clean answer! Just had to read between the lines.
