The 7th Signal Command is designed to extend Army network capabilities to Army forces in support of US based expeditionary operations. The command is one of five theater Signal Commands worldwide, and is a subordinate element of NETCOM/9th SC (Army). It was activated at Fort Gordon (now Fort Eisenhower) in July 2008.[1]
