Origin/meaning
Oriental blue and silver (white) are the colors traditionally associated with Military Intelligence. The wavy alludes to past campaign participation in the Pacific during World War II, the Taeguk to service in Korea. The crossed flashes refer to the unit’s origin as Signal and their present Combat Electronic Warfare and Intelligence function. The torch is a symbol of truth and reflects the motto “SEMPER VERITAS” and the mission of the unit. The chess knight, a piece that can move covertly, further symbolizes the military intelligence mission.
The Coat of Arms and Distinctive Unit Insignia was approved 1 March 1982.
