39th Signal Battalion

The 39th Signal Battalion was first constituted on 20 March 1942 in the Army of the United States and activated on 1 May 1942 at Camp Crowder, Missouri. During World War II, the battalion provided vital communications support throughout the European Theater, participating in campaigns such as Normandy, Northern France, Rhineland, Ardennes-Alsace, and Central Europe. After the war, the unit underwent several activations and inactivations, ultimately becoming a key element of U.S. Army communications in Europe during the Cold War and beyond. Today, the 39th Signal Battalion continues its mission as part of U.S. Army Europe, delivering reliable and secure communications support to American and allied forces.
