CHAPTER 2 ORGANIZATION OF THE SIGNAL BATTALION 4. General A signal battalion organized under TOE 11-35 ( ) is organic to each infantry, mechanized, and armored division. The signal battalion is a part of the combined arms team, providing communications support for the division. The signal battalion is capable of defending its installations against hostile ground attack, and each individual of the battalion is trained to fight as an infantryman. These latter capabilities, however, may be limited by factors of extended dispersion of battalion elements, mobility of the tactical elements, and urgency of requirements for communications support. 5. Subordinate Elements The division signal battalion (fig. 1) consists of a headquarters and headquarters company, a command operations company referred to as Company A, and a forward communications company referred to as Company B.
