U.S. ARMY 11TH CORPS SIGNAL BRIGADE PATCH (SSI)

For more than 75 years, the 11th Theater Tactical Signal Brigade—originally constituted as the 3103rd Signal Service Battalion in 1943—has provided vital support for operations across the globe, achieving success through the dual attributes of “Flexibility” and “Dependability” that make up its motto.

The Brigade is nicknamed “Desert Thunderbirds” in homage to the nearly 50 years it spent at Fort Huachuca, and the mythic Indian creature is featured displayed prominently on its Shoulder Sleeve Insignia, or unit patch. But in 2013 it relocated to Fort Hood in Texas, home of the United States Army Signal School. Along with its new home, the Brigade also earned a new designation: After nearly 35 years of service as the 11th Signal Brigade, it was redesignated the 11th Theater Tactical Signal Brigade. Within a ten-year period after its arrival, the Brigade would be redesignated as the 11th Corps Signal Brigade and its home base would be renamed Fort Cavazos.

Among the Brigade’s awards are three campaign streamers from World War II, another trio from the Southwest Asia conflict (First Gulf War), and a yet-to-be-determined number from the War on Terrorism. Three of the four Meritorious Unit Citations awarded to either the Brigade’s subordinate units or its Headquarters and Headquarters Company were for service in Iraq and Afghanistan.
