Origin/meaning
The colors white and orange are used for the Signal Corps. The signal flash through the center denotes the unit’s signal service both to South Carolina, represented by the blue, and Florida by the orange. The palmetto branch indicates the unit is now assigned to the South Carolina National Guard, whose crest features the palmetto tree. The Coat of Arms and Distinctive Unit Insignia was approved on 21 June 1981.
