Milestone on Anode – 104 Sig Sqn looks back to its beginnings in Vietnam, Capt Andrew Bird, Army – the soldiers’ newspaper, 3 June 2004

“The deployment of 160 Darwin-based 104 Sig Sqn personnel on Op Anode in the Solomon Islands is not only a first for some soldiers, but marks the first time the unit has deployed as a whole since Vietnam….104 Sig Sqn was then absorbed into 1CSU as part the Restructuring of the Army (RTA) trials and was renamed “A Sqn” on January 1, 1998. …On May 18, 2001, the unit was re-born when 1CSU became 1 Command Support Regiment (1CSR).  1CSR today consists of Regimental Headquarters, 104 Sig Sqn and Support Sqn. Currently, 104 Sig Sqn is deployed as the third rotation of the CIS Squadron element in Combined Task Force 635, where they provide invaluable Communications and Information Systems support.”
