The torch, adapted from that of the Statue of Liberty,
reflects the most fundamental type of signal communications
as well as the unit's home location. The three flashes symbolize
speed, electronic technology, and accuracy. The juxtaposition
of the two elements is expressive of the proud traditions and
present capabilities of the brigade.
