Insignia Description
A Silver color metal and enamel device 1 1/8 inches (2.86 cm) in height consisting of a shield blazoned: Per pale Tenné and Argent a hand couped grasping a flash fesswise emitting two flames arched to chief all counterchanged, in base four barrulets wavy of the like. Attached around the base a scroll inscribed "THINK, GO, DO" in Black letters.

Symbolism
Orange and white are colors traditionally associated with the Signal Corps. The shield is divided into two parts to represent the dual functions of the unit, supply and maintenance. The hand grasping the flash symbolizes the mission of the unit. The flames denote the zeal and readiness of the organization to carry out its mission. The four wavy barrulets refer to the four places of the unit's activation--Italy, Germany, Japan and the United States. The wavy barrulets allude to the Arno River, the area in which the unit earned a battle honor for services during World War II.

History
The distinctive unit insignia was approved on 18 May 1962. It was amended to correct the description and symbolism.
