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.
