CIVIL WAR SIGNAL CORPS
& U.S. MILITARY TELEGRAPH
The U.S. Army Signal Corps that existed during the Civil War began before the war started when the government approved an Army appropriations bill in 1860. After the outbreak of war, the first chief signal officer for the Army, Major Albert J. Myer, set up training facilities for detailed officers and men during the autumn of 1861. Utilizing organizations and techniques including electromagnetic and aerial telegraphy, the Union Army's Signal Corps accomplished effective tactical and strategic communications. From their elevated signal stations, the Signal Corps was instrumental to the success of the Union Army by correlating battlefield observation, gathering intelligence, and instructing the direction of artillery fire with the action on the fields of battle. The Signal Corps remained active throughout the entire war.
The U.S. Military Telegraph Corps, led by an established corps of civilian operators, was formed in 1861 to maintain communications between the federal government in Washington, D.C. and the commanding officers of the Union Army. Strategically important to many facets of the war, the U.S.M.T. also played a large role in espionage by intercepting and deciphering Confederate communications.
