The battalion operates the army's communications network on the island of Sardinia.

[1] The battalion's anniversary falls, as for all signal units, on 20 June 1918, the day the Austro-Hungarian Army began its retreat across the Piave river during the Second Battle of the Piave River.

The next day the company was renamed Signal Company of the Sardinia Military Command and assigned to the Sardinia Military Command.

During the reform signal battalions were renamed for mountain passes.

On 18 September 1996, the President of the Italian Republic Oscar Luigi Scalfaro granted the battalion a flag.
