Signal Officers Day is observed in Russia every October 20, commemorating the anniversary of the foundation of signal troops established on this date in 1919. This day was created by the President of Russia in 2006 to honor military communication professionals, which is crucial for the effective delivery of orders and collection of important military data. The celebration is specifically for personnel of the signal troops, and while no special government events are organized, officers typically receive congratulations from friends, relatives, and commanders. The observance highlights the importance of military communication in maintaining efficient command and control within the armed forces.
