The sword represents military preparedness and has three combined cutting edges to denote teamwork and under-score the battalion's numerical designation, The flashes are arced, simulating a circle, highlightning the importance of each army element's role in total combat readiness. The sword and flashes together reflect the threee sources and types of propaganda. The double-headed knight ymbolizes strategy as well as the dual nature of propaganda and psychological operations.
