Norrland Signal Regiment

The Norrland Signal Regiment (Norrlands signalregemente), designations Ing 3 det, S 1 B, S 3 and Signbat/I 19, was a Swedish Army signal regiment, one of the few new formations raised in the 20th century. It was disbanded in 2005. The regiment was garrisoned in Norrbotten.

History
The regiment has its origins in a 1915 detached company, Fälttelegrafkårens detachement i Boden, of Fälttelegrafkåren that was garrisoned in Boden. The company gained the designation Ing 3 det (3rd Engineer Regiment, detachment). The detachment was incorporated into Bodens ingenjörkår in 1925, but was split off and formed Bodens signalkompani with designation S 1 B in 1937.

The company was in 1954 upgraded to a separate battalion, and gained the designation S 3 (3rd Signal Regiment) in 1955. The battalion was renamed Norrlands signalbataljon soon after, and was upgraded to a regiment with the name Norrlands signalregemente in 1987 but downgraded to a battalion size unit again in 1994. In 2000, the battalion became one of five battalions in Norrbottens regemente, regaining its old name, but not the designation S 3 it originally had, even though it was still in common use. The battalion was disbanded in 2005.
