Radio Materiel School

The Radio Materiel School (RMS) was the first electronics training facility of America's military organizations. Operated by the United States Navy, it produced during the 1920s and 1930s the core of senior maintenance specialists for the Navy's communication equipment, that according to USN fleet admiral Chester W. Nimitz "paved the way to United States world leadership in electronics."[1]
