385th Signal Battalion

The 385th Signal Battalion was constituted on 18 November 1942 in the Army of the United States and activated on 30 November 1942 at Camp Crowder, Missouri. During World War II, the battalion provided critical communications support throughout the European Theater, participating in campaigns in Normandy, Northern France, Rhineland, Ardennes-Alsace, and Central Europe. After the war, the unit was inactivated but later reactivated in the Army Reserve, where it continued its mission of supporting military communications and signal operations. Over the decades, the 385th Signal Battalion has maintained its legacy of excellence in establishing and maintaining vital communications for U.S. Army operations.
