Signal

Worn from:
13 April 1959 - Current.

The crossed flags are taken from the Signal Corps insignia.
The torch signifies knowledge and alludes to training in
electronics and communications. Orange and white are the
colors of the Signal Corps. An army signal training center
was established in 1961 at Georgetown, D.C., by
Major Albert J. Mayer, the first Chief Signal School Officer
of the army. In 1905, the Army Signal School was organized
at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. In 1917, it was moved to
Camp Alfred Vale, New Jersey (Fort Monmouth) and is currently
located at Fort Gordon, Georgia.

While in Georgia it was designated briefly as the
United States Army Southeastern Signal School.

The school's motto is "Pro Patria Vigilans"
(watchful for the country).
