"Signal must no longer be thought of as a support function. It is an operational force, a maneuver element in the data domain, and the primary enabler of C2 in contact."

An excerpt from the article "Beyond the Network: The Army Signal Corps and the Future of Warfare," co-authored by Lt. Col. James J. Torrence, our battalion commander, and Lt. Col. Jon R. Creel, commander of the 112th Signal Battalion (SO)(A).

We had the profound honor of standing shoulder to shoulder with our fellow U.S. Army Garrison Benelux Soldiers at a solemn memorial service held at Chievres Communal Cemetery.

We gathered to pay our respects to the 58 individuals who lost their lives defending Belgium during the tumultuous days following the German invasion in May 1940.

🚀💪 Exciting Times for the Watchdog Battalion! 💪🚀

We recently executed a thrilling Combat-Focused Physical Training event that emphasized the importance of preparation and readiness!

🔥 We kicked off with an adrenaline-pumping challenge of assembling and disassembling the M4 rifle, then geared up in advanced suits, gaining hands-on experience in contaminated environments.

🏃‍♂️ To top it off, we tackled a demanding 4-mile ruck march, testing our endurance and camaraderie every step of the way!

This training helps shape us into resilient warriors and boasts our lethality, ensuring we are not only prepared but also effective in supporting global operations.
