are the colors assoociated with Army Aviation units. The two
broad arrows arrows denote the Southern Philippines and Luzon
campaign assault landings, and the stars symbolize the Bismarck
Archipeligo and Leyte campaigns of World War II. The triangular
shapes, suggested by the Philippine presidential flag, allude
to the Philippine Presidential Unit Citation awarded to an element
of the battalion for the above campaigns. The wings alude to
the regiment's mission.
