The white concentric rays represent light or knowledge gathered to a central point; they refer to the battalion's mission of collecting strategic information. The white and scarlet lion on the blue background is taken from the coat of arms of Hesse, Germany, where the unit was activated. The head only of the lion is used because it is a symbol of intelligence and reason. The color of the background, oriental blue, also refers to Military Intelligence.Crest
