Shield
Red and white are used for Engineers. The white bend represents a road, bridge, airstrip, etc., and is further dovetailed to imply the construction function of the Battalion. The two narrow white cotises signify the Battalion's two battle honors of World War II. The red and blue bendlet alludes to the Battalion's two decorations, the red referring to the Meritorious Unit Citation and the blue to the Philippine Presidential Citation. The red and blue stripes in conjunction with the white also simulate the stripes in the Hawaiian flag; the Battalion having been recently activated in Hawaii and assigned to the Pacific.
