Oriental blue is the primary color associated with the Military Intelligence Corps. Black and white symbolize overt and covert operations and the organization's around-the-clock vigilance. The griffin embodies alertness; it is black recalling determination and stealth. The unit's collection and exploitation mission is highlighted by the cramps or hooks. The hooks simulate flashes, representing speed and electronic warfare while alluding to the ability to catch and hold. | |||
The Coat of Arms and the Distictive Unit Insignia was approved on 11 June 1992. | |||
