Distinctive Unit Insignia.

Origin/meaning

Orange and white are the colors traditionally associated with the Signal Corps. The lightning flashes symbolize speed and communications; joined together they form a strong base and, branching out from this central point, they suggest versatility and scope. The laurel branches allude to excellence of achievement and the highest values and efforts of a military unit.

The Coat of Arms was approved on 17 January 1980, and the Distictive Unit Insignia on 6 June 1978.
