Origin/meaning
Orange and white are the colors traditionally associated with the Signal Corps. The star is a symbol of Texas, the home of the unit; the star also denotes command and control. The five black flashes radiating from the center of the star convey the ability to communicate with multidirectional capabilities day or night.
The Coat of Arms was approved on 17 May 1990. The Distinctive Unit Insignia was approved on 13 Jul 1990.
