A metal and enamel device 1 1/8 inches (2.86 cm) in height overall consisting of a silver winged triskelion, one branch up and charged with a vertical black lightning bolt, on a black background (the black lightning bolt edged silver where it crosses the background) the wings resting on a continuous silver scroll with the inscription in black letters STATIM NOS AGIMUS, the word NOS at top between the wings and the words STATIM AGIMUS in base.
The silver triskelion simulates the rotor blades of a helicopter and with the wings refers to the mission of the unit. Silver and black allude to the day and night operations. The lightning flash, a symbol of speed and urgency, refers to the Do It Now spirit of the unit, the literal translation of the motto Statim Nos Aguimus being We Do It Immediately.
The distinctive unit insignia was approved on 6 June 1967.
