The Role of The Squadron
Today the squadron is a Territorial Army squadron of the Royal Corps of Signals, serving within both of the Royal Corps of Signals UK Brigades, at home and abroad.
Overseas, the squadron supports NATO's Allied Rapid Reaction Corps (ARRC), providing essential Combat Net Radio communications for the ARRC or international coalition force ensuring that vital orders get passed around the battlefield. This is a unique Territorial Army role for which 94 (Berkshire Yeomanry) Signal Squadron was especially selected.
Such a role means that Berkshire Yeomanry soldiers train at home in the UK, but can also be found detached for short periods to locations as far away as the Balkans, Canada, the United States, and Iraq or Afghanistan.

“Well gentlemen, this is it. This is what weve been waiting for. Tonight your target is Tokyo. And youre gonna play em the Star Spangled Banner with two-ton bombs. All youve got to do is to remember what youve learned and follow your squadron leaders. Theyll get you in, and theyll get you out. Any questions? All right thats all. Good luck to you. Give em hell.”
—Dudley Nichols (18951960)
