The Royal Australian Corps of Signals (RASigs) is one of the 'arms' (combat support corps) of the Australian Army. It is responsible for installing, maintaining and operating all types of telecommunications equipment and information systems. RASigs traces its history to the torpedo and signals corp formed in New South Wales and Victoria in 1869. The Australian Army established a Corps of Signallers in January 1906 and the Corps assumed its current name in January 1925. RASigs units have participated in all the Australian Army's major deployments and signal regiments and squadrons form vital elements of the modern Army.
