Green and yellow are colors traditionally associated with the Military Police Corps. The tower is representative of the unit's World War II service in Europe and suggests physical security. Security is also denoted by the key and further emphasizes the unit's mission to provide administration and support for the operation of an internment facility. The sword is shown saltirewise and with point down to represent the nonbelligerent security mission. Black denotes strength of purpose. | Green and yellow are colors traditionally associated with the Military Police Corps.
