Shield: Orange and white are the colors for the Signal Corps. The pole and X frame symbolize the type of work done by the organization. The motto, "Clean and Open," is a standard telephone phrase indicating that a circuit has been satisfactorily constructed or repaired. Crest: The unit's World War II service in five campaigns in France, Germany and Central Europe is represented by the fleur-de-lis and the castle tower. The signal flashes denote the unit's mission and with the tower allude to its original signal construction capability. | |||
The Coat of Arms was originally approved 28 October 1942. It was amended to add a crest on 14 November 1983. The Distinctive Unit Insignia was approved on 26 October 1942. | |||
