The 505th Signal Brigade (United States) is a unit of the US Army Reserve. The unit was originally the 3146th Signal Service Group in 1944 and served in France and Germany during World War II earning campaign streamers for Northern France, Rhineland and Central Europe.[1] It also earned three Meritorious Unit Commendations from 1944-1945. In the ETO, the unit was assigned to 12th Army and was assigned to signals intelligence or "reading the enemy's mail."[2] After the German surrender, the unit was setting up VHF relay stations.[3]
In 1946 the unit was redesignated as HHD 505th Signal Service Group and moved to Fort Shafter, Hawaii. It was inactivated in 1948.
In 1952 it was reorganized in the Regular Army at Camp San Luis Obispo, California and quickly redesignated HHD 505th Signal Group. It was again inactivated in 1965.
In 2009 it was reorganized again to the Army Reserve and redesignated HHC, 505th Signal Brigade. It moved to Las Vegas, Nevada in 2011.
