The battalion's awards for Vietnam service, for which it recived the Presidential Unit Citation (Air Force) and five Meritorious Unit Commendations (Army), are represented in the crest. The mak, or hook-blanded machete used to clear fields in Vietnam, signifies the battalion's keen reconnaissance perfomance, and, together with the clouds alluding to the Air Force, refers to the Presidential Unit Citation (Air Force); blue is the colour of the award streamer. The five arrows, with points down signifying penetration from the air, represent five Meritorious Unit Commandations (Army), with arrowheads and feathers in scarlet, the colour of the award streamers. The yellow band with scarlet stripes, suggested by the national flag of the Republic of Vietnam, also alludes to the unit's achievments in collecting aerial reconnaissance informations. | The battalion's awards for Vietnam service, for which it recived the Presidential Unit Citation (Air Force) and five Meritorious Unit Commendations (Army), are represented in the crest.
