List of U.S. Signal Corps vehicles

This is a list of vehicles used by the U.S. Army Signal Corps from World War I through World War II.

An empty Lance wagon, possibly the K-2 used to carry "Lance" poles for telephone/telegraph wire

Designations

edit

Vehicles specifically designed or adapted for the Signal Corps were initially designated by a "K" number. The K-number was later phased out along with the Signal Corps Radio nomenclature system, and was replaced by a "V" number under the Joint Electronics Type Designation System (JETDS).
