Distinctive Unit Insignia


Description/Blazon
A gold colored metal and enamel device 1 1/4 inches (3.18 cm) in height overall consisting of a white expanded horizontal scroll surmounted vertically by a gold quill in front of a gold demi-sun emitting eight rays; all encircled by a blue (oriental) scroll, with the upper area surmounted by the points of the rays and in base the inscription "TRUTH CONQUERS" in gold letters.

Symbolism
Oriental blue is the color used for Military Intelligence. The quill and scroll allude to the reporting mission of intelligence. The sun, a symbol for enlightenment, with the radiating rays, symbolize the illumination of dark areas and defense against subversion and espionage. The eight rays further refer to the eight states in the jurisdictional area of the 108th Military Intelligence Group.

Background
The distinctive unit insignia was approved on 17 January 1969.
