9th Signal Battalion

The 9th Signal Battalion was originally constituted on 1 October 1939 in the Regular Army as part of the U.S. Army’s growing emphasis on communications technology. Activated at Fort Benning, Georgia, the battalion provided critical signal support during World War II, participating in major campaigns across the European Theater. After the war, the unit was inactivated and later reactivated during the Cold War, serving in various capacities to support Army operations with advanced communication systems. Over the decades, the 9th Signal Battalion continued to modernize, ensuring that U.S. forces remained connected on the modern battlefield until its most recent inactivation.
