The 69th Signal Battalion was first constituted on 29 July 1921 in the Organized Reserves as the 69th Signal Battalion. Activated on 1 May 1941 at Fort Knox, Kentucky, the unit provided critical communications support during World War II, participating in campaigns across Europe including Normandy, Northern France, Rhineland, Ardennes-Alsace, and Central Europe. After inactivation in 1946, the battalion was reactivated during subsequent conflicts and now operates under the 7th Signal Command, delivering tactical and strategic communications and cyber support for U.S. Army operations. Over its distinguished history, the 69th Signal Battalion has earned several campaign streamers and continues to uphold its motto, "Swift and Sure."
