History

The 12th Signal Group (V)[1] was originally formed in 1967 to control the TAVR signal regiments that were to support the 1st British Corps. In 1982 it was renamed to 12th Volunteer Signal Brigade.[1] The brigade was later disbanded as a result of the Options for Change. The brigade had under its control the Line of Communications regiment to support British Army activities in Belgium and the Netherlands.[1]
