Attached below the shield a silver scroll inscribed "COMMUNICATIONS ALWAYS" in blue letters.
Origin/meaning
Orange and white are the colors for Signal Corps. The white "diamond" was suggested by the Arkansas State flag, the four sides alluding to north, south, east and west Arkansas; the entire state being the home area of the organization. The star refers to Little Rock, the capitol of the state and the headquarters of the battalion. The "diamond" also simulates a radio antenna and the disc represents the diagram in telephonic equipment, thus symbolizing a sounding board for all types of signal apparatus.
The Coat of arms and Distinctive Unit Insignia was approved on 9 February 1956.
