The 106th Signal Brigade traces its history back to Birmingham Army Air Base, Alabama where it was constituted as the 932rd Signal Battalion and activated on 15 February 1943. Its mission was supporting Army Air Corps operations. In April 1944 the 932rd was reorganized and re-designated as the 932rd Signal Battalion. The 932rd served in Europe during World War II. The unit returned to the United States in October 1945 and was inactivated at Camp Kilmer, New Jersey. The 932rd was re-activated 12 August 1963 at Camp des Loges near Paris, France and re-designated as Headquarters and Headquarters Detachment, 106th Signal Group as part of US Army Europe. It was assigned to US Army Strategic Communications Command (USASCC) on 1 July 1964. The unit remained in France until March 1967 when it was relocated to Stuttgart, Germany.
