1st (United Kingdom) Signal Brigade is based in Gloucester and commands, prepares and generates forces which are held at high states of readiness to support current and future military operations all over the world. The Brigade delivers robust and resilient Command Support, Communications Information Systems and Real Life Support to formations including the NATO Allied Rapid Reaction Corps (ARRC), the Joint Rapid Reaction Force, the Vanguard Aviation Force, the Air Assault Task Force and the Vanguard Field Hospital.

History

In 1968, 1 Signal Group (Strategic Communications, or STRATCO) was established, which became 1 Signal Brigade in 1982. It became responsible for overseas communications, but was amalgamated with 2 Signal Brigade in 1987.[1]

The brigade was re-formed on 1 January 1995 and was deployed to Bosnia and Herzegovina under Brigadiers Tony Raper and James Shaw in 1995/96 as part of IFOR and, later, in 1999, as part of KFOR.[2] Under Army 2020, 1st (United Kingdom) Signal Brigade was reorganized into four specialist units.[3]

Role

Each unit is trained to carry out a unique and challenging role in support of the overall brigade mission and is prepared to deploy at short notice anywhere in the world.[3]

  • 22nd Signal Regiment, based in Stafford and Innsworth, deliver Information Communication Systems to the NATO Allied Rapid Reaction Corps Headquarters at their permanent base in Gloucester and when deployed on exercises or operations overseas anywhere across the globe.
  • ARRC Support Battalion, based in Innsworth, provide a bespoke and resilient staff working environment which can be deployed anywhere in the world at short notice to allow the NATO Allied Rapid Reaction Corps Headquarters to carry out their command role in any type of armed conflict. The Battalion also provides the crucial real life support and protection that enables the headquarters to focus on its role.
  • 30th Signal Regiment, based in Bramcote, is a busy, high readiness unit that provides bespoke communications support to the Joint Rapid Reaction Force, Vanguard Aviation Force, Air Assault Task Force, Vanguard Field Hospital and Allied Rapid Reaction Force Headquarters. The Regiment has small specialist teams prepared to deploy to trouble spots worldwide at a moment's notice to provide communications for military planners and liaison staff. 30th Signal Regiment also forms the headquarters for the Queen's Gurkha Signals.
  • 32 Signal Regiment providing Apps/Data support. [4]
  • 39 Signal Regiment providing Apps/Data support. [5]
  • 299 Signal Squadron (Special Communications), based at Bletchley, which is a small specialist unit that provides communications and command support direct to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office overseas.
