Special Forces has specific courses for signal Intel and so forth. In fact, the recon course is open to 35 MOSs so that means you can have intel guys in the field working alongside Special Forces.
When you refer to Special Forces signals are you referring to SOT-A's? Tyroc had mentioned them earlier and I have been doing some research to see what MOS's are required to join. They seem similar to the USMC's Radio Reconnaissance Team's where they are providing SIGINT/EW.
Those three MOS's you posted also seem in line with what Breaker would be trained in. I also see 18E Communications Sergeant and his filecard states "Infantry". So maybe starts as an 11B, is assigned a radio in an Infantry platoon then changes MOS's after his initial enlistment is over?

I think essentially all these guys are radio operators, but at some point the story needed them to be more and they now serve multiple rolls. Except Sneek-Peak and Recoil.
But guys like Scoop, And more recently Hard-Drive and Hi-Tech have to serve multiple rolls. I use to try and make sure every team had a radio operator. Falcon, and Lifeline with their backpacks. White-out and Topside. Topson now too. I suppose Blaster as well, but I admit I am not that familiar with microwave technology in relation to Comms.
Same here, I am definitely not familiar with microwave technology either. From what little I do know they would be guys who are back at a base or forward operating base providing their expertise and not following direct action guys into combat (as far as I know though, I could be mistaken).

The article mentioned the operators would work with UKSF forces scanning for enemy comms, disrupting and/or tracking mobile phone signals, emails, etc. and also controlling mini UAVs.
An interesting development and possible of interest to some for anyone with a 'day after tomorrow' setting...
I was under the impression that 18 Signals already did SIGINT/EW kind of stuff:
18 UKSF Signals
I wonder why they would want to create a second SF signals unit?
