The silver peach is symbolic of the State of Georgia, the origin of the cadre and original officers of the 29th Signal Construction Battalion. The horse's head represents the state of activation - Kentucky. The telephone poles are symbolic of telephone construction, the type of work done by this unit; the two poles represent the second unit from one origin - the 29th Signal Construction Battalion.

The lion adapted from the arms of Normandy commemorates the unit's initial combat service, while the mural crown with its five embattlements represents the total combined campaigns credited the organization for service in France and Europe during World War II.
