Insignia Description
A gold color metal and enamel device 1 1/8 inches (2.86cm) in height overall consisting of a scarlet enamel masoned tower of three merlons, charged in the center throughout with a vertical black enamel spade (with handle extended above the top), extending over a horizontal white enamel bayonet, all above a gold scroll inscribed, "Combat Ready" in red enamel letters.

Symbolism
The embattle tower was suggested by the unit’s shoulder sleeve insignia. The 130th Engineer Brigade’s five battle honors (Normandy, Northern France, Rhineland, Ardennes-Alsace and Central Europe) are represented by the three merlons of the tower, the spade and bayonet. The masoned tower with the spade also symbolizes the unit’s engineering achievements while the bayonet alludes to the combat readiness of the Brigade. Scarlet and white are the colors used by Engineers.

History
The distinctive unit insignia was authorized on 3 Nov 1969.
