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. The Sun, Castle Wall and Water recalls the Unit's World War II service in the Asiatic-Pacific Theater, Central Europe and Rhineland.
