Ultramarine blue and golden orange are colors traditionally associated with U.S Army Aviation. The chevron signifies strength and support; with an invected edge it simulates a cloud structure and denotes the unit's theater of operations. The bow and drawn arrow, pointing down, imply aerial strike capabilities and defense preparedness. The arrow emphasizes swift, silent and deadly attack as well as highlighting the unit's heritage and location, and its mission and role as a National Guard unit in the defense of home and country. | |||
The Coat of Arms and Distinctive Unit Insignia was authorized effective 1 October 1987. | |||
