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