22nd Signal Brigade (United States)

The 22nd Signal Group took part in five campaigns and was awarded the Meritorious Unit Commendation and Streamer, embroidered Korea.

The brigade was inactivated as a TO&E unit until 13 November 1967 and was organized under a Table of Distribution and Allowances (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.

During this move the enlisted barracked soldiers of HHC and G6 were temporarily housed at the Ernest Ludwig Kaserne in Darmstadt, where they were the soul occupants of this small enclosed one square block military facility.

Brigade Signaleers were the first elements to fly into Tuzla Airbase and cross the swollen Sava River during that first frozen December.

TFE Signaleers broke new ground in providing reliable voice, data, and video teleconferencing capabilities to MND-North's dispersed forces.

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.

In November 2002, elements of the BDE HQ and 17th Signal Battalion, commanded by LTC Brian Moore, deployed to Kuwait in supporting V Corps RSO&I and combat rehearsals.

17th Signal Battalion with A/32nd attached, commanded by CPT Marne Sutton/1SG Gary Potts, was given the initial mission to follow and support 3ID at the start of hostilities – crossing the berm into Iraq in the immediate hours of the operation.

The Brigade Command team, COL Jeffery G. Smith / CSM Ray Lane, flew via rotary wing to the first Corps objective to support the V Corp assault CP / LTG Wallace, followed a day later by the 22nd Signal Assault CP and 440th Signal Battalion.

As 3ID / V Corps entered Baghdad, the 22nd Signal Brigade Assault CP entered the city setting up initially at the Baghdad International Airport (BIAP) before relocating to Al Faw Palace which later was renamed Camp Victory in honor of V Corps.

51st Signal Battalion was called-forward to Camp Victory IOT to establish comms in support of the V Corps Forward CP and other units arriving at Camp Victory and to the newly established CJTF HQ / US Embassy in the green zone.

After returning to Darmstadt, Germany, 22nd Signal Brigade recovered, reconstituted, and retrained with V Corps on various exercises from 2004-2005.

The brigade was assigned to FORSCOM as a Direct Reporting Unit and under Training Readiness Authority of America's I Corps.

At a ceremony on 22 November 2021, 22 CSB assumed Command and Control of 51st Expeditionary Signal Battalion, co-located at JBLM.
