The commanding general of the U.S. Army Signal Center, Fort Gordon, Georgia, has tasked the U.S. Army Signal Center Command Historian Office with collecting, cataloging and preserving the operational experience of Signal units and personnel during the
global war on terrorism. The global war on terrorism is defined as any military operation performed by the U.S. Army since September 11, 2001, including but not limited to operation Noble Eagle, operation Enduring Freedom and operation Iraqi Freedom.
The effort is being conducted with the assistance of the JANUS Research Group Incorporated (
www.janusresearch.com), a local contractor in the Fort Gordon area. JANUS will employ subject matter researchers/data collectors to help identify data requirements, coordinate collection of the data, obtain the data and preserve it in digital and hard copy format in accordance with accepted document preservation techniques.
The types of information sought include any unclassified documents—hard copy or digital—pertaining to the participation or involvement of any Signal Unit or Signal personnel in the fight in the global war on terrorism. Documentation may include but is not limited to lessons learned related to Signal operations, either unit, technical or personnel assessments.
Information can be e-mailed to
GWOTcollection@gordon.army.mil. All information collected will be deposited into the Signal Corps archives at Fort Gordon, which contain documents and materials related to almost 150 years of Signal Corps history. All members of the Signal Regiment are encouraged to contribute to the history and heritage of their branch so that future generations may know of their accomplishments during the global war on terrorism.
