Otis Calls for reorganization of the army s communications by Charlie Bowde Munich Bureau Garmisch Germany the army s communications Structure is out of Date and needs review the usar eur commander said thursday. He said a stovepipe Structure May be the answer. Gen. Glenn k. Otis told about 550 military communicators thai the current Structure modelled after the infantry is no longer valid and could be a detriment on the Baltic Feltl. I m against stovepipe organizations and i be fought it for years a los said but the signal corps ought to be a stove pipe organization. Every theater ought to be organized from the theater lever audit ought to be under the control of a Thea ice signal  Otis old the first european information management conference that the organizational Structure of the army s communicators has not kept Pace with the rapid changes in concepts and equip ment. We re being less than honest with ourselves and our army if we Don t re View that Otis said. Signal is no longer a command oriented system. It Iran scenes the moving boundaries of companies platoons brigades division Sand corps of Man Euver troops the need for Battlefield communications from the very from to the rear responsive adequate redundant surya Vable those have nothing to do with those boundaries yet we still organize along that  Otis suggested a Structure based on communications and information sup port for a specific area no matter which unit is assigned to that area.

What we do need is accurate information and timely information he said. Using a vehicle Accident As an example he said first reports on the Acci Dent were almost always wrong they re real Lime but they re wrong he said stressing that the concentration should be on Retting near real time accuracy rather than  Otis said the belief in flexible user Orion led formats has resulted in a Lack of standardization within the army and in creased training requirements. We need standardized formats standardized ways of doing business Otis said so that every time you move an outfit from one organization to another or you move from one theater to another you Don t have to retrain the  flexibility would come into Pury in How the standardized systems Are used he said. 2 journalists assail press in s.
