Greely Hall, Building 29809
The 442nd Signal Battalion, assigned under the 15th Signal Brigade, serves as one of the U.S. Army's premier Signal leader and information technology education institutions. Its mission is to develop Signal leaders and provide related functional training to officers, warrant officers, noncommissioned officers and civilians from the U.S. Army, other services and the international community. Consisting of the Leader College, Cyber College, and Forward Operating Base (FOB) Ready, the "Ready" Battalion provides state of the art training and education to students in residence via distributed learning, mobile training teams, classroom settings, and real-world simulations.

The Leader College strives to develop lifelong learning programs and materials in support of programs of instruction, support combined arms doctrine and tactics training, provide command and control, administrative functions and logistic support for permanent party and student personnel, and to conduct professional development and mandatory training for permanent party personnel. They also provide instruction as part of the Advanced Communication Elective for the Army's Command and General Staff Officers' College. The International Military Student Office is also part of the battalion. Companies within the battalion develop, manage and conduct approved programs of instruction for Branch 25 and other select technical courses for students from the Total Army, international allies and DoD civilians.

The Cyber College, with a highly dedicated staff of over 180 officers, warrant officers, noncommissioned officers, and civilians, trains and educates more than 3,800 Soldiers and civilians in information dissemination, network management, and information assurance in 46 distinct courses annually using relevant information technology services using fielded and state-of-the-art equipment.

The Cyber College is continually increasing hands-on training, by integrating new technologies, expanding information security training, and establishing the first Army Cyber Space curriculum. To achieve this, they acquired battle command systems, built industry partnerships, and added information assurance (IA) training to all courses and established the warrant officer MOS 255S Cyber Security specialty. They also added another Digital Tactical Operations Center (DTOC), bringing the total available DTOC labs to three. These labs teach officers, warrant officers and noncommissioned officers how to configure, deploy, and operate DTOC systems. Formal partnerships with Adobe, NetApp and SANS were established with the college, which reduce equipment cost and provide even better battlefield support to the combatant commanders. To produce Signaleers with industry standard IA Certifications required by DoD 8570.01-M, IA certification training and vouchers were offered to all students. The new certification program ensures Signal leaders will meet Department of Defense certification requirements before they leave the schoolhouse.

Career courses focus on certifying information systems managers, telecommunication systems engineers, technicians, operators and maintainers. Functional courses, one to four weeks in duration and offered several times during the year, provide training on automation topics critical to the success of Army and DoD automaters worldwide. Courses include: Communications Security Custodian, Network Manager Security, Security+ and Certified Information Systems Security Professional. These courses provide a means for military personnel and DoD civilians to keep pace with the rapidly changing face of automation. Functional courses can be scheduled through the Army's Automated Training Requirements and Resource System.

Headquarters and Alpha Company, 442nd Signal Battalion are composed of the battalion headquarters, cadre, and all other personnel assigned to the Cyber College. Bravo Company is composed of the mobile subscriber equipment platoon and all students assigned to the initial entry Signal training, which includes Warrant Officer Basic Course and Signal Basic Officer Leadership Course; specialty courses assigned to Bravo Company are the Joint Automated Communications Engineering System Course. Charlie Company is composed of all students assigned for continuing Signal training, which includes Signal Officer Branch Qualification Course, the BCT/BN Staff Officer Course (BBSOC), the Warrant Officer Advanced Course and the Signal Captains' Career Course; specialty courses assigned include the Director of Information Management Course, the Pre-Signal Command Course, the FA 53 and FA 24 course. In order to provide 442nd students the opportunity to apply their newly acquired knowledge in a simulated setting, the SIGCEN established the Multi-Echelon Battle Command Integration Environment, a fully integrated networking and command post systems capability located at FOB Ready. In October 2008, the U.S. Army Signal Center of Excellence partnered with the Program Executive Office Command and Control Communications-Tactical (PEO-C3T), PM Command Posts (PM CP), PM Battle Command (PM BC), PM Tactical Operations Centers (PM TOCs), PM Mobile Electric Power (PM MEP), PM Force Battle Command Brigade and Below (PM FBCB2), other PEOs, and U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command Capability Managers to create a unique, standing, tactical command post and networking capability at Fort Gordon.

This partnership has effectively institutionalized the environment created during Operation TOCFEST 2008. This initiative will serve dozens of purposes for the participants: it will enable an on-going, validated engineering study of the tactical command post as a total entity; it will help influence how command posts will be institutionally described and trained; it will provide an opportunity to examine TOC environmental over an extended period of time; it will provide a completely integrated bundle of C4ISR technologies that PM's and the Signal School can use to experiment with system-of-systems of integration; it will provide a baseline from which systems engineers can develop training tools for Soldiers; it will facilitate Signal Operational Tests and Training Events; it will allow the Signal Center to educate students on configuration control for operational-through tactical level information technology/national security systems; and it will enable the SIGCEN to implement fully integrated Capstone exercises. This initiative has already paid huge dividends. This environment was integrated into five different programs of instruction (the Signal Officer Basic Leader Course, the Signal Captains Career Course, the Brigade S6 Staff Course, the Information Systems Management Course, and the Information Systems Technician Course), and clustered services to dynamically distribute hardware resources: 13 different ABCS systems were virtualized on a single workstation, which was a first for the Army. This on-going "TOCFEST-like" capability fully integrates networking (routers, switches, firewalls, and software management/Information Assurance Tools) and command post technologies, and provides a digitized and physical infrastructure. In less than five months, this homegrown initiative has established one of the premier Battle Command Systems environments in TRADOC.

The 551st Signal Battalion, the "Patriot Battalion," has a rich history beginning as an Aircraft Early Warning Battalion to present day as a part of the 15th Regimental Signal Brigade, assigned to the Training and Doctrine Command, and its performance of a challenging and daunting training mission. Its mission is two-fold. First, the battalion is responsible for transforming basically trained Soldiers into physically fit, confident warriors, able to live by the Army's values and warrior ethos. The second element is the responsibility to develop these Soldiers into technically competent and tactically proficient Soldiers, well-versed in the critical tasks associated with the military occupational specialties, and able to contribute to unit mission upon arrival.

In support of the Soldierization mission, the "Patriot" Battalion currently consists of four companies: a headquarters company and three line companies. Headquarters and A Company include battalion permanent party Soldiers and any reclassified Soldiers and those returning to the force for training after a break in service in the assigned military occupational specialties, i.e. MOS-T Soldiers. Company A provides consolidated billeting, command and control, values training, and warrior tasks training for all its assigned strength. Companies B, C and D perform the same mission, but for the initial entry Soldiers (MOS-I).

Its training mission includes the curriculum and critical tasks associated with these five Military Occupational Specialties: Network Switching System Operator/Maintainer (25F), Nodal Network Systems Operator/Maintainer (25N), Microwave Systems Operator/Maintainer (25P), Multi-Channel Transmission Systems Operator/Maintainer (25Q), and Satellite Communications Systems Operator/Maintainer (25S), and its Additional Skill Identifier (ASI) 1C. Course lengths vary from 15 weeks to 26 weeks, with an average battalion student load of over 1,500 Soldiers.

Additionally, 551st Signal Battalion is responsible for the execution of the weekly 15th Signal Brigade field training exercise, Mercury Fusion. A cell of dedicated instructor and staff personnel man the exercise every week to validate critical tasks trained in the schoolhouse for all nine brigade courses/specialties, to conduct weapons qualification, and to execute a convoy live fire exercise during the six-day field experience. Current operations consist of three functional sites: Forward Operating Base Dunham, the main site; Willard Training Area and Forward Operating Base Patriot. The objective of the training is to reinforce technical and tactical skills in a tough, realistic, and net centric training environment. This is the first real opportunity for the student to experience his/her individual role in supporting a field unit.

With existing resources and a high standard for excellence, 551st Signal Battalion exemplifies the "Watch and Warn" motto in meeting its training responsibilities, through its technical and tactical development of the total Signal Warrior.

The battalion's mission is to deploy worldwide to install, operate and maintain Echelons Above Corps, tactical subscriber voice, data communications and computer systems in support of joint and combined operations in all environments while ensuring force protection.

The 63rd is comprised of a headquarters company and three area communications companies. It is equipped with state-of-the-art Joint Network Node (JNN), Single Shelter Switch (SSS) V3, Command Post Node (CPN) and Phoenix. This equipment, coupled with a rigorous and challenging training program, allows the battalion to maintain its technical and tactical proficiency.

The rich and proud history of the 63rd Signal Battalion began when it was constituted in the Regular Army on July 1, 1940, and later activated on June 1, 1941 at Camp Claiborne, La. The battalion was recognized and re-designated the 63rd Signal Operations Battalion March 1, 1945, while in Europe. The battalion was subsequently inactivated June 20, 1948 in Austria.

The 63rd reentered the active force April 1, 1950 while in Austria. On Oct. 1, 1952, the battalion was reorganized and re-designated the 63rd Signal Battalion.

On Sept. 10, 1955, the unit was again inactivated.

Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 63rd Signal Battalion, was reactivated July 24, 1967 at Fort Riley, Kan.; spent time in the Republic of Vietnam, and was inactivated Feb. 15, 1972 at Fort Lewis, Wash.

On July 1, 1975, the 63rd was re-designated the Headquarters and Headquarters Detachment, 63rd Signal Battalion. The unit was activated in Massweiler, Germany. Companies A and B were concurrently activated.

On April 15, 1989, the battalion was reorganized and re-designated an Army Area Signal Battalion. On April 15, 1990, Company E, 67th Signal Battalion, and Company F, 16th Signal Battalion was re-designated Company C and Company D, 63rd Signal Battalion, respectively. During Desert Storm/Desert Shield, 63rd Signal Battalion installed, operated and maintained a significant portion of what was, at that time, the largest, most technically complex Echelon Above Corps communication network ever developed.

After serving in Desert Storm and Desert Shield, the restationing of the 63rd Signal Battalion from the 7th Signal Brigade in Europe to a new home station at Fort Gordon, Ga., was announced on Nov. 12, 1991. The battalion was assigned to the 11th Signal Brigade, effective March 16, 1992. The 63rd deployed companies into Somalia in 1992 and 1993 in support of U.S. humanitarian and peace keeping operations.

Effective Feb. 19, 1998, the 63rd Signal Battalion was reassigned from the 11th Signal Brigade, Fort Huachuca, Ariz. to the 93rd Signal Brigade, Fort Gordon, Ga.

The resolve of 63rd Signal Battalion was challenged once again when it was called into action for Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom in Southwest Asia on Feb. 16, 2003. On G+1, the 63rd crossed into Iraq with the 3rd Infantry Division and the 1st MEF and emplaced signal support stretching from Kuwait to as far North as Baghdad and Fallujah, Iraq. Some of the many sites the 63rd supported were Camp Arifjan, Camp Virginia, Camp Victory, Cedar I and II, Tallil Air Base, LSA Bushmaster, LSA Resolute, Camp Bucca Theater Internment Facility, Basra International Airport, Baghdad International Airport, and two former Iraqi Presidential Palaces. In January 2004, the 63rd conducted a relief in place and transition of authority with the 67th Signal Battalion. After successfully deploying and accomplishing the mission, the 63rd brought every Soldier home to Fort Gordon, Ga. on Feb. 19, 2004.

The 63rd Signal Battalion deployed again in January 2005 in support of the Combined Forces Land Component Commander (CFLCC) during Operation IRAQI FREEDOM III. After successfully completing the mission, the Soldiers of the 63rd once again safely redeployed home to Fort Gordon, Ga. on Jan. 19, 2006.

Following the rigorous transformation, the 63rd Expeditionary Signal Battalion, deployed once more on July 12, 2007 in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom V through the end of 2007.

Its mission statement directs the unit to deploy worldwide to install, operate, maintain and protect theater-level, tactical communications in support of specified, joint and combined operations across the spectrum of conflict. The 67th Signal Battalion provides voice, video and data capabilities, and in all environments, it ensures force protection.

In the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, the 67th Signal Battalion was assigned the additional task of providing communications support to Homeland Defense Initiative missions. The evolving missions provide communications support to Joint Task Force/Consequence Management operations that serve to integrate civilian national and local disaster relief organizations and military operations in support of disaster response. The 67th Signal Battalion now deploys around the United States to participate in exercises and operations to support this new Department of Defense initiative.

The battalion consists of a headquarters company and three identical area communications companies. The 67th Signal Battalion is equipped to provide area, small extension and medium headquarters signal nodes within a theater, Army, area of operation, as well as strategic gateways with multichannel satellite assets. When deployed, the battalion is capable of providing world-wide voice, data and video communications service to subscribers regardless of geographic boundaries.

The 67th Signal Battalion has a short but distinguished history of providing rapid, flexible and reliable communications. Formed in 1943 at Camp Van Dorn, Miss., the battalion deployed to Europe to provide communications support for the allies in the Central European and Rhineland campaigns during World War II. In 1945, the battalion moved to Manila in the Philippine Islands where it supported the Japanese surrender operations on the Island of Luzon. Deactivated in 1946, that would be its last assignment until reactivation in 1967 at Fort Riley, Kan. Then in 1971, the 67th moved to its current home at Fort Gordon where it continues to provide on-call, worldwide communications support.

The 67th Signal Battalion is a high Operational Tempo unit that has been designated an "early deployer," and, as such, it is continually assigned interesting, varied and vital worldwide missions.

In 1991, the battalion was deployed to Southwest Asia to participate in Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm. In 1992, the battalion deployed to Miami, Fla. to provide communications support for disaster relief operations in the wake of Hurricane Andrew. In 2001, the battalion deployed to Washington, D.C. to provide communications support for the Presidential Inauguration. In 2004, the 67th deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom2. In June 2005, the unit participated in the National Scout Jamboree at Fort A.P. Hill, Va., demonstrating to young Scouts the form of communications support the unit can provide to customers anytime, anywhere. During August and September 2005 the battalion supported Hurricane Katrina relief efforts by providing two data communications packages. In February and March 2006, the 67th Signal Battalion participated in several Homeland Defense missions in support of the Joint Task Force Civil Support (JTF-CS). The JTF-CS plans and integrates Department of Defense support to the designated lead federal agency for domestic Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and high yield Explosive (CBRNE) consequence management operations. When directed by the Commander of U.S. Northern Command, JTF-CS will deploy to the incident site, establish command and control of designated DoD forces and provide military assistance to civil authorities to save lives, prevent injury and provide temporary critical life support. In March 2006, the unit was involved in the Ardent Sentry 06 exercise, which is a bilateral exercise that involves numerous federal, provincial, state and local agencies in both Canada and the U.S. The primary objective of the exercise was to give federal, provincial, state and local authorities the opportunity to work together across a full spectrum of training opportunities to better prepare participants to respond to national crises. The exercise stressed consequence management for a range of man-made and natural disasters. In October 2006, the unit deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and returned in January 2008. The unit again deployed in June 2009 and returned in July 2010.
