The 2nd Group Communication and Information Systems was a military communications unit in the Land Component of the Belgian Armed Forces. The 2nd Gp CIS was stationed at the Westakkers base in Sint-Niklaas. They operated and maintained secure communications and information systems at strategic, operational and tactical level. In 2006, the 2nd Gp CIS deployed to Lebanon to support the Belgian contingent during demining operations under United Nations structure.
With the Transformation Plan of the Belgian Army and establishment of the Medium Brigade, the 2nd Group CIS was disbanded in 2011 and its personnel was mainly transferred to the 6th Group CIS.
