Officially Licensed 26th Signal Battalion Patch — Keeping the Line Open Since 1942
Because without comms, you're just a bunch of people standing around in the woods.
The 26th Signal Battalion was originally constituted in March 1942 as the 26th Signal Construction Battalion and activated at Camp Crowder, Missouri. During World War II, the battalion deployed to the European Theater, supporting communication lines for combat operations across France and Germany. After postwar inactivation, the unit was redesignated as the 26th Signal Battalion and reactivated in 1951 for Cold War operations. Stationed in Germany under the 93rd Signal Brigade, the 26th Signal Battalion provided the tactical communications backbone for U.S. Army forces in Europe throughout the Cold War — maintaining the networks that would have been critical if the Fulda Gap ever lit up. This patch carries the legacy of the signal soldiers who kept the Army connected from WWII through the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Perfect For: 26th Signal Battalion veterans from all eras, U.S. Army Signal Corps soldiers, Germany-stationed Army veterans, and anyone who served in the communications field and knows that nothing happens without comms.
No signal, no mission. 26th Signal Battalion.
