The colours oriental blue and silver grey are tradiotinally associated with military intelligence. The armoured fist represent strength; the lightning flash denotes speed, the fist sizes the blade of the sword to indicate readiness and vigilance. Black denotes dependability and suggests covert capabilities. The first, upraised and grasping the sword, suggests leadership, highlighting the unit's motto.
