Shield: The cinquefoil and ermine spot symbolize the regions of Europe where the unit served during World War II and the cinquefoil’s five lobes refer to the campaigns in which the unit participated. The annulet suggests the flexibility and mobility of the unit and its mission to provide continuity by replacement of losses. The ermine spot alludes to the individual and the importance of the individual’s contribution to the unit. Dark blue and scarlet are the colors of the Adjutant General’s Corps.
