Emblem

Ultramarine blue and Air Force yellow are the Air Force colors. Blue alludes to the sky, the primary theater of Air Force operations. Yellow refers to the sun and the excellence required of Air Force personnel. The Orion Constellation symbolizes the warrior-hunter of the unit's profession of arms, while the stars symbolize "eyes-in-the-sky," the reconnaissance and surveillance platforms the unit uses to accomplish the mission. The lightning bolt represents the Squadron's communications and logistics functions, which are critical to the success of the DGS-5 mission. The lightning bolt serves as a common element in both the communication and logistics fields and ties these two functions together. The rook symbolizes the intelligence mission and demonstrates how the unit stands with the intelligence squadrons in the group to accomplish their unique mission
