The Baghdad Signal University was established by the 3rd Signal Brigade at Camp Victory, Iraq, the Multinational Corps-Iraq (MNC-I) tactical data network training facility allows MNC-I soldiers and civilians to learn to operate and troubleshoot network devices in the face of a tactical data network and strategic network that rapidly changes.

The first class at Baghdad Signal University (BSU) took place in April 2004, only 105 days after the brigade arrived in Iraq. The university classes are taught Monday through Friday every week, regardless of the threat level. Soldiers, civilian contractors and coalition forces are flown in from all around the Iraqi theater to participate in the classes.

The university was the brainchild of four soldiers who also helped make it a reality. The 3rd Signal Brigade's System Support Team acquired a deserted, dilapidated building and created a first-class training room with a hands-on data laboratory.
