21 Signal Regiment is a signal regiment of the Royal Corps of Signals within the British Army. The regiment was, until the initial Army 2020 reforms, the only signal regiment to support the Royal Air Force.[3][4]
By 2024, it will reform as the British Army's second dedicated Electronic Warfare and Signals Intelligence (EWSI) Regiment.[5][6]
