Shield: The principal colors of the shield are those of Infantry. The eagle's wing is symbolic of the method of vertical attack and striking power of the airborne forces. The golden sword of freedom severing the chain is symbolic of the organization's participation in the liberation of 2000 prisoners of war at the Los Banos prison camp in Luzon, Philippine Islands. The three red roundels (torteaux) on the wing represent the organization's three campaigns: New Guinea, Luzon and Leyte. Crest: The golden sun, adapted from the Philippine Presidential Seal, represents the award of the Philippine Presidential Unit Citation. The blue arrowhead bearing a scallop shell denotes the Distinguished Unit Citation awarded the unit for participation in the amphibious assault landing on Nasugbu Beach, Luzon. This unit's claim to the first landing in Japan (at Atsugi Airfield) is symbolized by the red mountain in base. | Shield: The principal colors of the shield are those of Infantry.
