+Shield: Orange and white are the colors traditionally associated with the Signal Corps. The shield is counterchanged to underscore teamwork and unity. The chevron symbolizes protection and support. The two lightning flashes refer to the honorable service provided by the unit during its two previous activations in 1944-1946 and 1959-1968. The rampant horse embodies zeal, action and the battalion's readiness to serve the country. Crest: The gauntlet grasping the lightning flash symbolizes the unit's signal mission, the gauntlet representing military preparedness and the flash, the signal service for military communications. The red lightning flash is the color of the Meritorious Unit Commendation awarded to the battalion.
