Among the changes was the creation of the Territorial and Army Volunteer Reserve (TAVR), which was divided into three categories: TAVR I (The 'Ever-readies', ready for United Nations commitments and would serve to bring the Regular Army to war establishment, replace casualties, and be ready for rapid deployment); TAVR II (these units were to give the Regular Army administrative units not needed in peacetime.

[4][5][6] On 1 April 1969, about 12 drivers and clerks of the Women's Royal Army Corps were transferred to the squadron from the 3rd (Territorial) Battalion, The Black Watch, part of TAVR III.

After transfer of the WRAC to the Royal Corps of Signals, permission was granted by the Colonel-in-Chief of the Black Watch (HM Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother) for all female soldiers joining the squadron wear the Black Watch Tartan.

[5][6] On 1 April 1988, the squadron moved to a new location, at the Mid Craigie Road TA Centre within the City of Dundee.

This move was due to a change of role within 39th Signal Regiment, when the squadron was given the task of providing 'Top Relay Centre Bravo'.

This task called for more real estate and the Highland TAVRA found and refurbished a former commercial depot.

[14][15][16] According to the British Army website, the squadron's role is described as follows:[8] Providing deployable real-time support to the Allied Rapid Reaction Force Headquarters (ARRC).
