The battalion's function of dissemination of propaganda, by radio broadcast and prepared leaflets is characterized by the lightning flashes and oak leaves emanating from the sword hilt, The colours gray, white and black are borrowed from the coat of arms of the US Army Special Warfare School (Formerly Psychological Warfare School) and refer to the half-truth, the truth and the un-truth. The Dragon highlights the units' airborne mission an the palm commemorates the organization's campaign participation credits and honours earned in Vietnam. The arms were authorized on 20 June 1997.
