Insignia Description
A gold color metal and enamel insignia 1 1/8 inches in height overall consisting of a gold broad arrow on a red field the arrow charged on the shaft with a blue star and flanked on either side by three gold stars within three cloud forms joined at the sides by a blue scroll looped around the arrow shaft and inscribed with the motto "READY IN DEFENSE" in gold letters.

Symbolism
Scarlet and yellow (gold) are the colors used by the Air Defense Artillery branch. The broad arrow represents the artillery round in whatever form it may take, shell or missile. The stars recognize the European Campaigns of World War II in which the unit was engaged, the one being placed upon the arrow to denote an assault landing in the Southern France Campaign. The stylized cloud formation alludes to the Brigade’s Air Defense mission.

History
The insignia was originally approved for the noncolor bearing units of the 35th Artillery Brigade, on 28 Jul 66; authorized for the noncolor bearing units of the 35th Air Defense Artillery Brigade on 4 Apr 72.
