I believe both are support units, so they might take part in combat in an extraordinarily dire circumstance. Obviously, they have power numbers, but are really expensive units to hope to use as combat elements. Using a Signal Company where you don't need its CPs seems like a wasteful luxury.
Whenever an element in a stack moves on the map, fires in combat or receives fire, it loses cohesion. At some point, if the cohesion is too low in battle, the element withdraws or routs. The Hospital gives elements in its stack a cohesion boost and aids them in recovering cohesion after moving or battle. Everyone is a soldier, but medics and signal types can perform a much more useful task if you let them. I don't advise pounding nails with a screw driver.
So when properly used, the Signal Company grants a stack enough CPs to avoid a loss in power when too many Divisions and loose units are otherwise present. The Hospital boosts cohesion before battle and after. The Supply Wagon unit grants a 10% bonus to combat power if supplied.
