Document Overview
This unit history was compiled by the battalion’s editors to record the story of the 3186th Signal Service Battalion, activated 15 May 1944 at Camp Edison, Fort Monmouth, New Jersey. It covers training, movement to the European Theater under Lt. Col. John B. Stout, and radio-link communications operations supporting the Twelfth Army Group, Seventh U.S. Army, and SHAEF through the Ardennes and the drive across the Rhine, followed by the battalion’s postwar reorganization and its subsequent movement to the Southwest Pacific Theater for occupation duty after V-J Day. The book closes with unit commendations, photographs, and a full battalion roster. This listing is a digital download of a scanned copy of the original book.
