62 Reserve Field Communications and Information Services CompanyWe are the 62 Reserve Field Communications & Information Services (CIS) Company of the Reserve Defence Force of the Irish Defence Forces. We provide voice and data communications to units of the 2 Eastern Brigade Reserve in support of exercises, competitions and ceremonial occasions
In 1941 the 11 Communications Battalion of the LDF was formed as part of Irelands response to the Second World War. At the end of the war the LDF was disbanded and replaced by the FCA resulting in the formation of the 11 Field Signal Company on 1st April 1946. In 1998 the unit name changed to 11 Field CIS Company. Most recently the reorganisation of the FCA into the RDF in 2005 resulted in the unit being renamed the 62 Reserve Field CIS Company.
Due to the current embargo on Public Service recruitment enlistment in the RDF is very limited. We are still accepting applications and hope to be able to take on a small number of new recruits early in 2011
We are revamping this site and we are keen to know what you think. We will incorporate your feedback where possibe as we release new versions of the site. Please let us know.
