The four design elements (the scroll, sword and two flashes) together with the circular scroll, and five parts of the sword (the blade, two quillons of the cross guard, the grip and pommel) allude to the numerical designation of the battalion. | Distinctive Unit Insignia: Purple and white are colors used for Civil Affairs.
