Red and white are the colors traditionally used by Engineer units. The tower symbolizes the Brigade’s mission. The black diamond signifies military constancy to the nation, in times of war and peace and the rich coal resources of the state. The powder horn signifies the 111th Engineer’s heritage as “Minuteman for Freedom,” also the unit’s motto. | |||
The shoulder sleeve insignia was approved on 5 December 2006. The distinctive unit insignia was originally approved for the 111th Engineer Group on 11 November 1974. It was redesignated for the 111th Engineer Brigade, with the description and symbolism updated, on 13 November 2006. | |||
