Signals Swift and Sure

In the heat of battle, a commander’s greatest weapon isn’t just firepower—it’s information.

Signals Swift and Sure is the definitive account of the Royal Australian Corps of Signals during its most transformative era: 1947–1972.

This book uncovers the hidden technological revolution that redefined how the Australian Army fought in the post-WWII landscapes of Japan, Korea, Malaya, Borneo, and Vietnam.

While traditional histories focus on the "sharp end" of the bayonet, Signals Swift and Sure reveals the digital and electronic nerves that made those operations possible.

From the first use of transistors to the high-stakes world of signals intelligence (SIGINT) in the jungles of Vietnam, this book tells the story of how Australian Signalmen turned emerging technology into a "combat power multiplier".

Signals Swift and Sure isn't just a history of equipment; it's the story of the men and women who ensured that, no matter the distance or the danger, the message always got through.
