According to a pre-war tables of organization described here a battalion signal officer (also a HQ platoon commander) apparently must stay with radio truck (GAZ-AA truck with 5-AK radio). At least there is no tank assigned to him. Don't know about further TO&Es and I'm not sure that such position actually existed.
