Personnel from the 313th Sig-
nal Company 54th Signal Bat-
talion 3rd Signal Brigade de-
ployed to various sites around
Fort Hood last week for their
Army Readiness Training and
Evaluation Program.
TH E PU PO SE of th
ARTEP was to determine if the
unit standards and level of
training is consistent with
Army standards.
The 313th is a Light Tropos-
pheric it specializing in
sending radio signals long dis-
tances without relays. They
send a signal up to the earth’s
troposphere where it bounces
off and comes back down to
where it’s picked up by another
radio located up to 100 miles
away.
According to Capt. Kurt G.
Mueller 54th Sig Bn S-3 officer
the company was evaluated in
such areas as common skills
perimeter defense command
and control and maintenance.
They were also evaluated on
their ability to perform their
military occupational skills in a
simulated nuclear biological
and chemical environment.
