Attached below the shield a Silver scroll inscribed "THE COMMANDER'S VOICE" in Black letters.
The colors orange and white are for the Signal Corps. The wavy central partition line represents the Rhine River, which flows in a northerly direction and is an essential waterway in the Rhineland, where the organization served in World War II. The fleur-de-lis symbolizes France where the battalion served in World Wars I and II, a fact alluded to by the division and counterchanging of said charge. The two diamonds allude to the two leading nations in the diamond cutting industry, Belgium and the Netherlands, where the battalion served in World War II. The winged chevron indicates their historic airborne mission and the color black is taken from the field of the Belgian coat of arms. The chevron markings are the international Morse code symbols for "82", the numerical designation of the battalion.
The distinctive unit insignia was approved on 27 October 1958.
