The three piles are used to represent rays or beams of light thus alluding to communication (signal). The blue and white are used to refer to Infantry; red to the Artillery and Engineers; and yellow to the Armor, alluding to the combat support furnished by the predecessor organization, the 47th Aviation Battalion.
