History:Constituted 1 October 2000.
Official blazon
A gold color metal and enamel device, 1 1/8 inches (2.86 cm) in height consisting of a white pelican displayed with wings inverted supporting a gold radarscope charged with a blue fleur-de-lis. Above radiating from either side of the pelican's head two gold demi-arrows and below a blue scroll inscribed "GARDEZ LES SEPARES" in gold letters.
Origin/meaning
Ultramarine blue is one of the colors traditionally associated with Army aviation units. The radarscope represents the Air Traffic Service community. The unit's motto refers to the mission of air traffic service to "Keep Them Spaced." The pelican, exemplifying loyalty, and the fleur-de-lis represents Louisiana, home base of the group. The pelican is adapted from the Louisiana State flag and the fleur-de-lis alludes to the Cajun heritage of the people of Louisiana. The arrowheads allude to delta flight shapes and the accuracy of the Air Traffic Service to always keep aircraft on target and "spaced."
The Distinctive Unit Insignia was approved on 21 August 2001.
