Orange is one of the colours of the Signal Corps. The Fleurs-de-lis is indicative of the two Battle Honours awarded for Central Europe and Rhineland in World War II. The Enflammed Arrow symbolises the signal Function. The Lion's Head symbolises the Battalion's Meritorious Unit Commendation for Southwest Asia service. The Three Spearheads symbolises campaign participation credits for Defense of Saudi Arabia, Liberation and Defense of Kuwait and Cease Fire.
