38 Signal Regiment
38 Signal Regiment is the communications (signal) unit of the 38 Canadian Brigade Group, a Reserves Brigade in 3rd Canadian Division of the Canadian Army. It was formed in 2011 by amalgamating 734 Communication Squadron, 735 Communication Regiment, 736 Communication Squadron and 737 Communication Squadron.
Headquartered in Winnipeg Manitoba, 38 Signal Regiment has four squadrons:
1 Signal Squadron – Winnipeg, MB
2 Signal Squadron – Regina, SK
3 Signal Squadron – Thunder Bay, ON
4 Signal Squadron – Saskatoon, SK
The Regiment’s mandate is to provide individual and collective support to Canadian Armed Forces operations, whether domestic or international. Many of the unit’s members have served in various UN and NATO missions around the world in addition to the numerous domestic response emergencies such as forest fires and flooding.
The role of 38 Signal Regiment is to provide commanders and staffs within 38 Canadian Brigade Group the means to exercise command and control. Our teams of signallers establish tactical medium and long range radio networks, satellite rear links, local cable networks, commercial network connectivity, and Army computer networks. We also support information management and provide information technology support services. As well, we provide the deployed facilities and services to units and groups from the Brigade for training in combat operations or in readiness for domestic emergencies. This includes transportation in military trucks and trailers, physical security, tents and furniture, electrical power generation and distribution, heating, lighting, and other amenities for sustaining a headquarters facility in austere conditions.
