Teal blue and white are the colors used for units not assigned to a branch and refer to the original unit designation, the 313th Army Security Agency Battalion. The colors orange and white refer to the organization's former affiliation with the Signal Corps and the six points of the mullet allude to the battalion's decorations for World War II and Vietnam service. Crest: The dragon, symbolic of alertness and readiness, denotes the unit's service as an Army Security Agency Battalion in Vietnam. The mount refers to the lush terrain of that country and the twelve spikes to the number of campaigns in which the unit participated. | Teal blue and white are the colors used for units not assigned to a branch and refer to the original unit designation, the 313th Army Security Agency Battalion.
