History
The Swedish Army Signal School was established in 1942 in {{ill|Frösunda|sv}}, Solna, moved in 1945 to Marieberg in Stockholm and in 1958 to Uppsala. In 1960, the Swedish School of Communication Security (Signalskyddskolan) was attached to the school. The school's tasks were to further train officers and technical personnel within the Swedish Army Signal Troops, to train other permanently employed officers and conscripts in military communications and in the maintenance and repair of signal equipment and to be responsible for communication security training for the Swedish Total Defence. The school ceased in 1965 and was reorganized into the Swedish Army School of Staff Work and Communications (Arméns stabs- och sambandsskola, StabSbS).{{cite web |url=https://sok.riksarkivet.se/?Sokord=Fr%C3%B6sunda%2BArkiv&page=13&postid=Arkis+D48F8726-C405-11D6-81CC-00D0B73E7A8B |publisher=National Archives of Sweden |title=Arméns signalskola (1942 – 1965) |access-date=8 March 2023 |language=sv}}
