Insignia Description
A silver color metal and enamel device 1 1/4 inches (3.18 cm) in height overall, consisting of a silver sword point up, the blade surmounted in cross by four intersecting red discs, the intersections silver, overall four black rays saltirewise in point; all in front of a silver encircling scroll inscribed "THE WILL TO SUCCEED" in black.

Symbolism
Orange and white are colors traditionally associated with the Signal Corps. The sword symbolizes service in Vietnam, for which the unit was awarded the Meritorious Unit Commendation. The intersecting quatrefoil, rays and saltire represent a radio beam and reflect aspects of the unit's mission. Red, black and silver, the former colors of Germany's national flag, allude to service in the Rhineland during World War II. Red and white are also the colors for the signal flags in the branch insignia.

History
The distinctive unit insignia was approved on 20 January 1967. It was amended to revise the description and symbolism on 11 May 1993.
