Crimson and yellow are colors traditionally associated with the Ordnance Corps, the original allocation of the unit. The color "horizon blue," taken from the chief of the coat of arms of the former 139th Field Artillery Regiment, commemorates descent of the parent unit from that organization. The motto of Indiana, "The Crossroads of America." is depicted by the gyronny partition lines to symbolize the "Hoosier" organization. The fleur-de-lis indicates the original battalion's World War I campaign honor. The sea lion, taken from the coat of arms of Manila, represents World War II Pacific honors. | Crimson and yellow are colors traditionally associated with the Ordnance Corps, the original allocation of the unit.
