Since 2023 the Corps has been overseen by its Signal Officer-in-Chief, Major-General Muhammad Ali Khan.[4][5]
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.: 362–363 [6] 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.[6] 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.[6] Further training from the United States also strengthened the scope of the Corps through its interaction with the U.S. Army Signal Corps.[6][7] With reorganization taken place on 23 March 1956, Major-General Obedur Rahman became its local first signal officer-in-chief.[6][7]
The Corps also saw its first notable member when Captain Muhammad Sarwar was honoured for his actions against the Indian Army in 1947.[6]
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.[2]
