The 26th Signal Battalion was first constituted on 3 February 1944 in the Army of the United States and activated on 15 April 1944 at Camp Forrest, Tennessee. During World War II, the battalion served in Europe, providing vital communications support to Allied forces and participating in campaigns including Normandy, Northern France, Rhineland, and Central Europe. After the war, the unit was inactivated and later reactivated during the Cold War era, serving with distinction in various signal and communication roles. Today, the 26th Signal Battalion continues its legacy of excellence, supporting U.S. Army operations with cutting-edge communications technology and expertise.
