History

The squadron was formed at Bletchley on 1 April 1995 from a detachment of 5 Squadron of 39 Signal Regiment and 602 Signal Troop, perpetuating the traditions of the Royal Buckinghamshire Yeomanry from 20 October 1996, a title that had been dormant since the disbandment of B Company, 2nd Battalion Wessex Volunteers a decade earlier. The squadron left 39 Signal Regiment to become an independent unit on 1 July 1999.[2]

Structure

The Squadron consisted of a Headquarters and three Signal troops:[1]

gollark: I still don't really care very much if people go around testing... weird brain things... on others, as long as everyone involved agrees to it, licenses or not.
gollark: You can talk here and ping whoever you're replying to.
gollark: You mention near-infrared, which is apparently absorbed somewhat less than other wavelengths by skin and such, but based on my 30 second duckduckgo search it's still scattered and absorbed a decent amount by that and probably is blocked by the skull, which is where the brain is.
gollark: In any case, would most lasers *not* just be blocked by the skull and not interact with brain tissue anyway?
gollark: This is probably more of an issue for neuroscientists than... people with lasers.
