The insignia is the shield and motto of the coat of arms. The insignia was authorized for wear on 14 Jan. 1988

  • Blazon
    • Shield: Or, a dance of two vert between a fleur-de-lis and two arrowheads gules, in base a fountain
    • Crest: On a wreath of the colors (or and vert) a semi-oriental winged dragon gules, armed and langued vert, grasping two arrows saltirewise of the first
    • Motto: We Support to the Utmost
  • Symbolism: The heraldic dance is reminiscent of mountains while the fountain represents water. The fleur-de-lis is for France. These elements represent the service of the unit in Europe during World War II. The unit's two assault landings are indicated by the red arrowheads while the green refers to the organization's mission of support to Special Operations. The unit's service in Vietnam is symbolized by the dragon. Its wings and the crossed arrows refer to the battalion's mission and capabilities.
