THE HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE MILITARY SIGNAL AND INFORMATION COMMAND STRUCTURES OF THE GENERAL STAFF

Summary/Abstract: The period between the end of the War of Independence and the entry into the First World War was favourable to the modernisation of the Romanian Armed Forces, which diversified their organisational structures, increased their strength and improved cadres preparation and troops training. In the authors’ opinion, the most important of the military reforms at the end of the 19th century was the establishment of the Great General Staff, which would be in charge, among others, under the direct orders of the Minister of War and under the direction of the Chief of the Armed Forces Great General Staff, of the “railway, telegraph, postal, information etc. service”. In this context, at the end of the century the first specific manuals and regulations entirely dedicated to the signal activity were printed, which detailed the organisation, missions and procurement of telegraphic companies.
