According to my husband, a platoon would most certainly have a radio operator. After all they would have to call in for artillery rounds etc. Combat engineer units would not be any different than any other army unit.
I have a friend who was in the signal corps and was under General McAuliffe. I can ask him some questions. I'm sure the other vets who frequent this forum will be able to pitch in their two cents.
