The contrasting black and gold underscore night and day vigilance as well as covert and overt missions. The torch embodies leadership with its flames symbolizing the "gift of tongues," hence the linguistic capabilities of the battalion. The key refers to the mission of Military Intelligence organizations. The quill highlights the unit’s role in transcribing and interpreting information. The checkered area, emblematic of a chessboard, represents military strategy. Crest: The crest is that of the U.S. Army Reserve.
The Coat of Arms and the Distinctive Unit Insignia was authorized on 19 Aug 1998.
