The majority of the military photographers covered combat were in the Signal Corps. Signal Corps companies consisted of seventy-five men: twenty were still photographers, thirty were motion picture cameramen, twenty were darkroom technicians, two were film recorders, and three were maintenance men. Signal Corps units accompanied U.S. troops from the beginning of U.S. operations abroad, but they did not have a major presence until later in the war.. Some of the Signal Corps photography units were assigned to combat areas, others to communications zones. Those photographers stationed in forward areas received two sorts of orders: a general assignment to cover an operation (such as an assault on an island or a town), and a specific assignment (such as to record the effect of enemy tank-destroyer fire on friendly tanks). The photographs these units produced were put to many uses: tactical, for immediate use in the theaters; strategic, for use in planning; training or the instruction of troops; intelligence, for reconnaissance; technical, for the improvement of equipment; and historical, for future study. .
