Signal Command
Worn from:
31 July 1968 - Early 1980's.
On an orange disc within a 1/8 inch (.32 cm) white border
2 3/8 inches (6.03 cm) overall, three white rings graduating
in size and having a common tangent at the base, the smallest
circle surrounding a blue roundel all surmounted by a vertical
blue lightning flash issuing from lower border and extending
to top border.
The blue lightning streak on target symbolizes the First Signal
Command's ability to carry on all functions of its mission with
speed and accuracy. The white rings refer to the emanating effect
of transmitting radio waves through space. The single lightning flash
indicates the numerical designation of the command.
