Symbolism
Shield
Ultramarine blue and golden orange are the colors traditionally associated with Aviation units. The wings, in the shape of a spiral are representative of helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft, and refer to the two types of aircraft used by the unit in performing their mission of tactical transport and logistical support. The three pairs of wings also allude to the unit's numerical designation "222." The blue disc at the center denotes the sky and the Pacific area where the unit was originally activated.
Crest
The unit's combat service in Vietnam is emphasized by the colors of the design elements (yellow, red and green) and characterized by the convergence of the pheons "on target." They form a cross, alluding to the four awards of the Republic of Vietnam Cross of Gallantry with Palm earned by the unit. They are banded in scarlet to acknowledge the Meritorious Unit Commendation. The bamboo annulet is symbolic of Vietnam and signifies the Republic of Vietnam Civil Action Honor Medal.
