Ultramarine blue and golden orange are colors traditionally associated with Aviation units. The blue annulet suggests a prescribed drop zone and the arrowhead piercing it symbolizes the placement of men and material within the zone. The flaming pheon shaft, alluding to a torch and the wings refer to the unit's motto "Wings of Freedom."
Crest
The colors red, yellow and green are adapted from the United States Army's Vietnam Campaign streamer and reflect service in Vietnam. The unit was awarded three Republic of Vietnam Cross of Gallantry with Palm decorations, symbolized by the swords and palm. The unsheathed swords represent military preparedness and combat service.

The coat of arms was approved for the 212th Aviation Regiment effective 17 November 1987. It was amended to add a crest on 27 February 1989.
