The lozenge and the colors colonial blue and buff were suggested
by the flag of the state of Delaware, the unit's home area. The
single star alludes to Delaware as the first state to sign the
Constitution and is also used to indicate the capital city of Dover,
the unit's present location. The pattern formed by the conjoined
lozenges is indicative of precise planning and represents the unit's
capabilities. The white and orange zigzag simulates electric flashes
and refers to the technology of a communications system and the unit's mission.
