50TH SIGNAL BATTALION, 18TH AIRBONE CORPS

The 50th Signal Battalion, part of the 18th Airborne Corps, was originally constituted in 1940 and has a long and distinguished history of providing tactical communications support to airborne and rapid deployment forces. During World War II, the unit participated in key campaigns across the European Theater, including Normandy and the Rhineland. Throughout the Cold War and into the 21st century, the battalion adapted to evolving technologies, supporting operations in conflicts such as Operation Desert Storm, Operation Enduring Freedom, and Operation Iraqi Freedom. Stationed at Fort Liberty (formerly Fort Bragg), North Carolina, the 50th Signal Battalion remains a critical element in enabling secure, reliable communications for the Corps’ global missions.
