131st Signal Battalion

The 131st Signal Battalion was originally constituted in the Army of the United States on 18 February 1943 as the 131st Signal Radio Intelligence Company and activated shortly thereafter. During World War II, the unit provided vital communications intelligence support in the European Theater, contributing to Allied successes through signal interception and analysis. Postwar, the battalion underwent several reorganizations and redesignations, eventually becoming the 131st Signal Battalion. In more recent decades, the unit has supported both state missions and overseas deployments, serving as a key communications asset within the Army National Guard.
