7th Signal Command (Theater) was activated on July 1, 1975 at Fort Ritchie, Maryland, and was tasked to oversee and support all CONUS Signal operations, complementing 5th Signal Command in Europe and 6th Signal Command in the Pacific. The command provided communications, automation, visual information, printing and publications, and records management services to CONUS Army units.
7th Signal Command was deactivated on October 1, 1993 and its functional support components were redistributed to Fort Detrick, Maryland and several other posts. On July 22, 2008, 7th Signal Command was reactivated at Fort Gordon, Georgia as part of the “Grow the Army" initiative. 7th Signal Command's commander at reactivation was Brigadier General Jennifer Napper.
The Army’s premier communications provider with global reach, the 7th Signal Command enables the Army's ability to build, train, compete, fight, and win across complex Joint & Coalition Multi- and All-Domain environments.
7th Signal Command’s three subordinate Signal Brigades are 93rd Signal Brigade headquartered at Fort Eustis, Virginia, the 106th Signal Brigade at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, and the 21st Signal Brigade at Fort Detrick, Maryland.
On September 1, 2021, 7th Signal Command (Theater) Headquarters began split-based operations between Fort Gordon, Georgia and Fort Meade, Maryland. This move increases ARCYBER’s lethality and the readiness and capability of DODIN-Army Operations.
