Distinctive Unit Insignia: Cobalt blue and golden yellow (gold) are the colors traditionally associated with the Chemical Corps. The smoke bomb denotes the unit’s battle history as a “Smoke Generator Battalion;” it is charged with a Taeguk to indicate service in Korea, the four bursts of smoke symbolizing the unit’s four decorations for that service. The lion’s face commemorates European campaigns and service in World War II. | Distinctive Unit Insignia: Cobalt blue and golden yellow (gold) are the colors traditionally associated with the Chemical Corps.
