Pakistan Army Corps of Signals
The Pakistan Army Corps of Signals is a military administrative and a combined arms branch of the Pakistan Army. Headquartered in the Army GHQ, the Corps of Signals oversees the communications, information system, and computer security for the command and control of the joint and combined arms uniformed forces of the Pakistani military.

Since 2023 the Corps has been overseen by its Signal Officer-in-Chief, Major-General Mohammad Ali Khan.

History

The Corps of Signals was one of the first administrative branches that was established on 14 August 1947 from the partitioning of the Indian Army. Its first signal officer-in-chief was Major-General R. Cawthome— an exchange officer from the British Army who was also a brainchild of the establishment of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) in 1948. From the earliest years, the British Army's contribution to the Corps of Signals was vital when it assisted in building the Corps to working strength. Further training from the United States also strengthened the scope of the Corps through its interaction with the U.S. Army Signal Corps. With reorganization taken place on 23 March 1956, Major-General Obedur Rahman became its local first signal officer-in-chief.

The Corps also saw its first notable member when Captain Muhammad Sarwar was honoured for his actions against the Indian Army in 1947.

The Military College of Signals provides the necessary personnel to the Corps. The Signals Corps is structured with the numbers of regiments and battalions. As of its mission, the Signal Corps oversees the communications, information system, and computer security for the command and control of the joint and combined arms uniform forces of the Pakistani military.

The Signal Officer-in-Chief (SO-in-C)— the lead and reporting officer– works directly under the Chief of the General Staff (CGS) in its administrative capacity, directly reporting from the Army GHQ in Rawalpindi, Punjab.
