Oriental blue and silver gray are the colors used for Military Intelligence Battalions. The blue piles represent the mountains of Central Europe and of Korea where the Battalion’s parent organizations served. Those organizations were Signal Service companies in Europe and a Communications Reconnaissance Battalion in Korea. The edelweiss, small white flower prized by European mountaineers, refers to the unit’s service in Central Europe and Austria. The two beacons refer to Korea’s ancient and effective system of communications which was accomplished by means of beacon fires on the mountain tops, and refer to the Battalion’s two Korean unit decorations. Crest: The colors red and yellow are traditionally associated with Vietnam as is the rice which composes the wreath, a symbol of excellence and achievement. The red flashes refer to the four Meritorious Unit Commendations earned while serving in Vietnam and signify the unit’s activities there. They also represent accuracy and speed. | Oriental blue and silver gray are the colors used for Military Intelligence Battalions.
