This United States Army manual, Training Circular TC 6-02.46 Training and Certification Standards for Expeditionary Signal Companies August 2026, provides doctrinal guidance for training and certification standards for expeditionary signal companies. This also serves as an authoritative reference for personnel developing doctrine, materiel, and force structure; institutional and unit training; and standard operating procedures.

TC 6-02.46 provides an approach to train and qualify individuals and teams on their assigned equipment using signal assessment tables I–VII.
