It was established in 1951 with the purpose of training and equipping units to support the Danish army with wartime Command, Control and Communications.

Besides the radio network, the regiment also establishes mobile military headquarters to be used by the army.

On November 1, 1947 the Ministry of Defence decided to move the signal battalion from the engineering regiment to serving directly under the Generalkommandoen.

In 1989, as the Cold War drew to a close, Parliament decided to merge the two regiments, garrisoning the resulting unit in Fredericia.

Besides the two bases, the regiment operates Hyby Fælled Proving Ground outside Fredericia.
