The Brigade was inactivated on 22 May 2007 . History . The 22nd Signal Brigade was constituted as Headquarters and Headquarters Company , 22nd Signal Service Group on 14 November 1945 with duties supporting the Army of Occupation , and later deactivated on 20 June 1948 while under the command of Colonel Frank J . Schaal . On 27 September 1951 , the brigade was redesignated as Headquarters and Headquarters Company , 22nd Signal Group and allotted to the Regular Army . The Korean War saw the activation of 22nd Signal Group in October 1951 . The 22nd Signal Group took part in five campaigns and was awarded the Meritorious Unit Commendation and Streamer , embroidered Korea . The Group was inactivated in Korea on 13 May 1955 . In February 1964 , the newly reorganized 22nd Signal Group assumed its first operational mission by taking over the Edingen High Frequency Radio Station and eventually 43 planned frequency sites . By the time the last site was under the 22nd Signal Group ' s control in August 1964 , the group had become a subordinate unit of the US Army Strategic Communications Command – Europe , thus severing its ties with United States Army Europe . In April 1980 , a provisional signal brigade was established . On 16 September 1980 , the 22nd Signal Brigade was placed on the active rolls in an augmentation carrier status . A reorganization of the assets of the 32nd Signal Battalion ( Corps ) to create the Brigade Headquarters and the 17th Signal Battalion followed . When France made the final decision to withdraw from NATO , the 22nd kept communication channels open to withdrawing US forces until 16 March 1967 . The brigade was inactivated as a TO & E unit until 13 November 1967 and was organized under a TDA ( ? ) as the Signal Group 22 , supporting United States Army commands until 12 August 1974 , when Signal Group 22 ' s colors were furled in Mannheim , Germany . The 22nd Signal Brigade ( Corps ) , a major subordinate command of Headquarters , V Corps , was activated on 16 March 1981 by its first commander , Colonel Theodore W . Hummel . The 22nd Signal Brigade consisted of three battalions : the 17th Signal Battalion ( Command ) , the 32nd Signal Battalion ( Radio ) and the 440th Signal Battalion ( Area ) . The brigade ' s headquarters , along with 17th and 32nd Signal Battalions , were headquartered in Hoechst , while the 440th Signal Battalion remained in Darmstadt . The V Corps G6 office was located with the V Corps Headquarters in Frankfurt . In 1990 , many brigade soldiers ( Charlie Company 17th Signal Battalion located at that time on Gibbs Kaserne in Frankfurt ) in support of 143rd Signal Battalion 3rd Armored Division deployed to Saudi Arabia as part of Operation Desert Storm . The 22nd Signal Brigade was re - equipped with the Army ' s Mobile Subscriber Equipment in the Central Region of Germany immediately after Desert Storm and successfully weathered Army force reductions in USAREUR , reorganizing into its final structure . The brigade headquarters was located in Darmstadt , along with 32nd and 440th Signal Battalions . The 17th Signal Battalion headquarters was in Kitzingen , at Larson Barracks . The Corps G6 office was stationed in Heidelberg with the V Corps headquarters . In 1995 , under the operational command of the 1st Armored Division ' s Task Force Eagle , the 22nd Signal Brigade Headquarters , 440th Signal Battalion , elements of the 17th and 32nd Signal Battalions , and 1AD ' s 141st Signal Battalion , deployed to Bosnia and Herzegovina in support of Multi - National Division - North . Brigade Signaleers were the first elements to fly into Tuzla Airbase and cross the swollen Sava River during that first frozen December . The Brigade Task Force went on to install over 11 MSE node centers and over 43 small extension switching teams in support of US , Russian , Turk , and Nordic Polish forces throughout the Task Force Eagle area of operations in Bosnia . TFE Signaleers broke new ground in providing reliable voice , data , and video teleconferencing capabilities to MND - North ' s dispersed forces . After returning to Germany in December 1996 , the brigade quickly reestablished itself as the premier tactical signal brigade in the Army . The brigade has been at the leading edge of tactical and technological innovations while supporting a vigorous USAREUR and V Corps exercise and training program . Since 1995 , 22nd Signaleers have been continuously deployed in support of both the 1st Infantry Division and 1st Armored Division in Bosnia , US EUCOM ' s national support element in Hungary and NATO ' s Task Force Able Sentry in Macedonia . In May 1998 , the brigade once again deployed the 440th Signal Battalion to Bosnia as the 1st Armored Division ' s Task Force Eagle Signal Support Force . In 2002 , the brigade deployed all of its battalions in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom . 22nd Signal Brigade was deployed a second time to support Operation Iraqi Freedom in October 2005 , returning October 2006 . On 22 May 2007 , the colors of the 22nd Signal Brigade were furled and the unit was inactivated .
