“CANSOF Special Operations Signaller”
 
Combat operations are extremely complex and dynamic.  
The original plan almost always becomes outdated once the enemy is engaged.  
As the mantra goes, “No plan survives contact with the enemy.”  
 
As a result, communications, commonly referred to as “comms,” becomes a critical enabler to mission success.  Whether to coordinate actions, call for fire support, medical evacuation, resupply or extraction.  In essence, comms has proven to be a vital enabler for those on operations.  
 
Throughout the long history of radio operators, none have been as vital as the Special Operations Signaler, who more often than not, has worked at extremely long distances, under the most hostile and austere conditions to enable comms that are vital to mission success.
