Signals troops, communications troops Explanation: military: signals unit, signalman (Would you have to say "signals person" in the US forces today?)

Left: CAVALRY & MECHANIZED BRIGADE TRAINS. Second reference: ARMY FAMILY TEAM BUILDING - BUGLE CALLS ... Calls troops for mess call. 2230. Tattoo. Signals the evening roll call. 2245. Call to quarters. Signals troops to return to quarters. 2300. Taps. Signals lights out. ... Reference: http://tmg110.tripod.com/poland2.htm www.gordon.army.mil/roa/aftb/bugle.htm - |
