US Army Signal Corps Intelligence Agency
Get PDFHistorical Data Cards were used to record the organizational history of units within the Army. This card was provided to Robert Bolin by the US Army Institute of Heraldry in 1985.
The Signal Corps Intelligence Agency (SCIA) was a special-purpose military organization assigned to the Chief Signal Officer. The Chief Signal Office was the general in charge of the Army Signal Corps. The mission of the SCIA was described as “To perform the staff intelligence functions assigned by the Chief Signal Officer and to provide staff direction and coordination of the Signal Corps intelligence effort… The responsibility for the collection, evaluation, correlation, production, maintenance, and dissemination of US Army signal technical intelligence on foreign materiel, installations, systems, and activities for which Chief Signal Officer has an intelligence responsibility or requirement in the field of communications and electronics… The coordination of the acquisition and exploitation of foreign signal equipment… The maintenance of technical intelligence pertaining war potential and vulnerabilities, military forces and material, research and development, and related military and civil aspects affecting the capabilities of foreign countries and areas.” Several other restatements of the mission of the agency are included on the card as well.
Note that the SCIA was concerned with technical intelligence and not with communications or signals intelligence. Communications and signals intelligence were the concern of the National Security Agency and other organizations within the US armed forces.
The SCIA was discontinued in 1962 when most of the Army technical services were reorganized out of existence. Its functions, personnel, records and equipment were divided among the newly created US Army Foreign Science and Technology Center and US Army Area Analysis Intelligence Agency.
Note: The second paragraph on the second page refers to the Army Transportation Intelligence Agency. Obviously, that paragraph was erroneously recorded on the wrong card
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Three Questions that Defined the US Army Signal Corps
Get PDFPerhaps the events of the last few years, the usurpation of many Signal Corps roles by the new Cyber branch and the failure of our multi-billion dollar WIN-T dinosaur, will serve as a clarion call for real cultural, organizational and structural change – perhaps we will realign systems development, training and MOS structure to the warfighter – and stop being Signal geeks
“Signal Corps Intelligence Agency Activities” on Page 18 in the “Quadrennial Report of the Chief Signal Officer, US Army, May 1951-April 1955.”
Get PDFThis is a brief organizational history of a small special-purpose intelligence agency focused on signal equipment used by foreign armies and on the organization and activities of analogous organizations to the US Army Signal Corps in foreign armies. In addition, the Signal Corps Intelligence Agency had been tasked with producing intelligence concerning the Soviet-Bloc civilian power and communications networks.
In the 1950s, the Chief Signal Officer was the head of the US Army Signal Corps which was one of the US Army Technical Services. The Technical Services were bureaus which supplied the army with weapons and equipment, organized and trained special-purpose military units, provided the army with technical services, and managed the careers of officers commissioned in the corresponding branches. The Signal Corps provided communications and photographic services to the army
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
