assignment

As part of the German armed forces' telecommunications unit, the regiment was responsible for setting up and operating the telecommunications connections for up to two base command posts of the division as well as an advanced command post and their connection with each other and with the subordinate units. Various guidance systems were used for voice and data transmission (fixed telecommunications networks , Heer AUTOKO 90 / BIGSTAF telecommunications system , HF radio, VHF radio). In the peacetime the regiment planned and carried out telecommunications exercises in the division group and thus ensured the uniform telecommunications training of the brigades and division troops.

This red shield is crossed diagonally in the background by two lightning bolts, which symbolize the telecommunications force. This association badge is identical to that of the 1st Panzer Division, the superordinate association of the telecommunications regiment, with the exception of the two lightning bolts.

In 1994 it was transferred to the Staff and Telecommunications Battalion 1 (subordinated to the Command Support Regiment 20 in Hanover) and to Rotenburg (Wümme). The new battalion was reinforced with personnel from the disbanded telecommunications battalion 11 (Oldenburg) and the telecommunications regiment 120 Rotenburg (Wümme). In 2003 it was again assigned to Telecommunications Battalion 1 in Telecommunications Regiment 1 (later only Telecommunications Regiment 1) and directly subordinated to the 1st Panzer Division.
