The command's mission, to seek truth through testing and
experimentation, is symbolized by the triangle or fulcrum
balancing a bar and sun. The bar and triangle represent a
scale, the sun signifies the search for knowledge, enlightenment,
and high ideals. Yellow is indicative of the precious metal
gold and represents "the worth of quality assurance of tested
products." Dark blue alludes to the sky and space, suggesting
the possibilities and discoveries of the future/ The red sword
characterizes the individual soldier, whose combat preparedness
is aided by the data and information products the organization
provides. The white is expressive of the command's search for
the truth and the sterling quality of the products produced.
