Book excerpt: Excerpt from Personnel Specifications: Signal Corps; Field Signal Battalion, Telegraph Battalion, Pigeon Company Personnel Specifications for three units of the Signal Corps are herewith issued. On the basis of Tables of Organization, the Signal Corps has organized field signal battalions, telegraph battalions, pigeon companies, army radio section, a meteorological section, and depot battalions. In addition, personnel has been authorized for the organization of service companies and a meteorological service for military operations in the United States. The army radio section being organized in France for use exclusively in the American Expeditionary Forces, with no information available at this time concerning the duties of its personnel, tables of Personnel Specifications are consequently not available for publication. For the meteorological section, undergoing a general change in its organization at the termination of hostilities, tables of Personnel Specifications are impracticable at the present time. The depot battalion is a detachment of casuals organized for replacement purposes with no duties as a unit, the personnel being classified according to the demand of the moment. In the United States, service companies are purely administrative units with no unit duties, the personnel being used for individual duties. Further, the meteorological service is organized according to no table of organization. The publication of Tables of Personnel Specifications is, therefore, limited to these units mentioned below, which have fixed duties and which, no matter what change in the actual organization of them may be authorized, it is believed, will always, in the main, function as they do now, and upon which any new Tables of Personnel Specifications must, consequently, be based. These units are: 1. Field Signal Battalion. 2. Telegraph Battalion. 3. Pigeon Company. It will be noticed that Personnel Specifications include the Army title, the authorization of the various grades according to the Tables of Organization, the corresponding civilian occupation, the degree of skill at the occupation and the occupational symbol (used in the classification of all enlisted men) which are commonly found in the Tables of Occupational Needs for various branches and corps of the service heretofore published.
