The Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association (AFCEA) established in 1946, is a non-profit membership association serving the military, government, industry, and academia as an ethical forum for advancing professional knowledge and relationships in the fields of communications, information technology, intelligence, and security. AFCEA supports local chapters, sponsors events, publishes ''SIGNAL'' Magazine, promotes education, and provides member benefits. AFCEA has more than 35,000 members.〔(AFCEA International website )〕 ==History== Following the American Civil War, the United States Veterans Signal Association was formed from the original Signal Corps established under Major Albert J. Myer of the U.S. Army. This organization was active for many years, ultimately being augmented by veterans from the Spanish American War and World War I. Another World War I group, the American Signal Corps Association, merged with the U.S. Veterans Signal Association in 1918 and was active until 1944 (World War II). In May 1946, Major General Harry C. Ingles, Brigadier General David Sarnoff, and a number of industrial leaders joined to found the Army Signal Association, absorbing the remaining chapters of its predecessors. In 1947, with the unification of the services, the name was changed to Armed Forces Communications Association, and in 1954 the name evolved as the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association. In 1979 AFCEA became international with the establishment of chapters in Europe, Asia and Canada. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「AFCEA」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
