Unit History & Information
The battalion's official lineage begins with constitution in 1916 and organization at Camp Gordon, Georgia, in 1917. During World War I, the organization became the 307th Field Signal Battalion, assigned to the 82nd Division. Postwar changes produced the 82nd Signal Company. It became the 82nd Airborne Signal Company in August 1942, as the division adopted its airborne mission. The company designation matters when describing its World War II service.
The unit was reorganized as the 82nd Signal Battalion at Fort Bragg in September 1957. Its later campaign record includes the Dominican Republic, Grenada, Panama, and Southwest Asia. Signal service changed with the Army's equipment. A division's communications network had to connect dispersed headquarters and maneuver forces while moving with them. Army reporting on former battalion commander Dennis L. Via identifies his role in modernizing the division's Mobile Subscriber Equipment network, illustrating that evolution beyond the wartime company.
