The triparted shield: Argent, Gules and Azure represent the Flag of Texas, the home location of the Battalion. The Sanguine Cross on a white field symbolises the medical role. The Wavy division line alludes to the amphibious role of the 4th Engineer Special Brigade, to which the Battalion was assigned during World War II. The Torch symbolises the modern instructional role, as part of the US Army Medical Department Center and School. The fivepointed Star in the Crest alludes to Texas - "The Lone Star State". The sunburst refers to the Philippine Unit Commendation awarded in World War II. The bluebonnets further symbolise Texas, and in conjunction with the green mound they symbolises mission support for land-based soldiers. | The triparted shield: Argent, Gules and Azure represent the Flag of Texas, the home location of the Battalion.
