Shield: Red and white are the colors for the Corps of Engineers, combined with green they allude to the battalion’s service in Italy during World War II, as does the wreath taken from the Italian national emblem. The red triangular shape, used to represent a mountain, refers to the organization’s former designation of “Mountain” battalion and to the service in Apennines. Crest: The arms in armour in combination with the hammer and sword symbolize the unit’s World War II combat participation as “fighter” and “builder.” The mount suggests the unit’s original designation as a “mountain” battalion and also refers to the unit’s World War II campaigns in Italy’s Po Valley and North Apennines region. The colors green, white and red allude to the Italian flag and further suggest World War II campaigns. | Shield: Red and white are the colors for the Corps of Engineers, combined with green they allude to the battalion’s service in Italy during World War II, as does the wreath taken from the Italian national emblem.
