20th Engineer Brigade Combat Airborne Corps

Worn from:
29 June 1967 - Current.

The castle tower is suggested by the Corps of Engineers branch insignia.
Its base is pointed, in reference to the brigade's combat requirements.
The tower also represents the headquarters of the brigade; the white
areas grouped around the tower, simulating carpenter squares, allude
to the engineer combat and construction groups which it serves. The
tower and white areas also simulate heavy construction (buildings,
compounds, fortifications, bunkers, revetments, runways, roads, etc.);
placed on a square they allude to the establishment of bases. The red
border and the red saltire refer to lines of communication.
