34 (Northern) Signal Regiment was a Territorial Army regiment in the Royal Corps of Signals in the British Army. The regiment formed part of 12 Signal Group, providing command and control communication for NATO's Allied Rapid Reaction Corps (ARRC). As a result of the Strategic Review of Reserves it was announced on 28 April 2009 that the regiment was to be disbanded[1] The regiment consisted of three squadrons plus the band:
- HQ Squadron
- 49 (West Riding) Signal Squadron -- SHQ and 703 (Trunk Node) Troop, Leeds and 745 Troop, Hull[2]
- 50 (Northumbrian) Signal Squadron -- SHQ, Darlington and 742 (Access) Troop, Heaton[3]
- 90 (North Riding) Signal Squadron -- SHQ Hartlepool and 704 (Trunk Node) Troop, Middlesbrough[4]

[i]A number of posts within TA signals units were formed to operate equipment that has now become obsolete. These posts will now be removed and include Headquarters 12 Signals Group and 33, 34 and 35 Signals Regiments. It makes sense to reallocate resources from these posts to higher defence priorities. This decision has not been taken lightly and we are very aware of the exceptional contribution made by the Royal Signals within the TA.
