The lightning flash and sword symbolize speed and accuracy of communications. The laurel wreath denotes achievement. Black stands for strength and stability.

The laurel wreath symbolizes honor and achievement and again recalls the unit's campaign action in Iraq. The chess-piece, the knight, versatile and resourceful in the game, refers to the speed and accuracy noted in the unit motto "Accurate Fast All Source." Black denotes strength, purpose, and dedication to accomplish mission requirements. Background The coat of arms was approved on 21 September 1993. It was amended to correct the symbolism on 24 November 1993. It was amended to add a crest on 3 September 2009. See Here |
