The Minuteman or Patriot reflects the Brigade's motto and represents those citizen soldiers who fought for the ideals of liberty and a new way of life. The freedoms and prosperity we enjoy today we owe to our soldiers past and present. The lightning flash symbolizes quick response; its light blue color is a color used by the Infantry. It also identifies the unit's lineage with the 78th Infantry Division's insignia, "The Lightning Division." Silver represents the color white. Red is for valor, sacrifice, and the blood shed in battle. The two stars commemorate the campaign participation credits awarded the Brigade for World War I and World War II. The oak wreath embodies strength and growth; its acorns allude to the growth and building of a new nation after the War of Independence. Today our soldiers must always be there to defend our freedoms, our way of life, and the Homeland. The motto translates to "Patriots On Point."
The distinctive unit insignia was approved on 7 September 2007.
