The 3rd Signal Brigade of the United States Army was an element of III Corps. It was based at Fort Hood, Texas, but was inactivated on 15 April 2008 as part of the transformation of the U.S. Army to a Modular Force Structure.[1] The 3rd Signal Brigade has a history of inactivations and reactivations ever since formation of the unit in 1946.[1]

The 3rd Signal Brigade was composed of the Brigade's Headquarters and Headquarters Company & the 57th Signal Battalion. On order, the 3rd Signal Brigade deployed to a theater of operations, provided command and control communications to the III Mobile Armored Corps (Phantom), and redeployed.
