The colors crimson and yellow (gold) are the colors of the unit’s immediate predecessor, the 748th Armored Ordnance Battalion, the pheon and clarion alluding to the two battle honors (new Guinea with arrowhead and Southern Philippines) awarded for service in World War II. The clarion is also a type of trumpet with clear, piercing tones and in being a form of signal refers to the transition to a Signal organization. | |||
