Coat of arms (crest) of the 1st Test and Evaluation Squadron, US Space Force

Official blazon

Origin/meaning

The ellipse is black, representing the stark challenges facing all who dare to operate in the space domain. The blue globe represents Earth and is divided into nine segments representing the Joint Functions: command, control, information, intelligence, fires, movement, maneuver, protection, and sustainment. The sword is a one-handed type often used by medieval leaders to direct the battle from horseback. The grip is on Earth, from where we project power and a reminder that space operations are conducted to achieve national objectives. The guard is on the horizon, protecting U.S. interests from space. The blade projects outward, where capabilities must be controlled in and beyond Earth orbit. The sword is flanked by two formations representing the capabilities that depend on effective command, control, and communications. In each, one red is flanked by two blue, representing the imperative to exceed the capabilities of competitors and the importance of battle management in gaining advantage over adversaries through mass and maneuver. Bisected by the sword, their symmetry pays homage to test scales, representing the rigorous, objective, and quantifiable test that is the foundation of warfighter confidence in any weapon.
