Yokohama Signal Depot

The Yokohama Signal Depot was a United States Army communications facility established in Yokohama, Japan, following World War II. It played a crucial role in supporting U.S. Army communications throughout the Far East during the postwar occupation and the Korean War. The depot handled the maintenance, repair, and distribution of signal equipment, ensuring efficient communication lines for American and allied forces. Over time, as U.S. military operations in Japan were reorganized, the depot’s functions were gradually absorbed by other units, leading to its eventual closure.
