Description

The imagery of the 29th Signal Battalion Distinguished Unit Insignia, also called a unit crest or a DUI for short, could not be more clear in its meaning. An orange bend dexter with white borders incorporates the colors of the Signal Corps, and in the upper right corner a classic white telephone pole, combined with the X-frame in the lower left, make it obvious the unit’s function was communications. This is reinforced by the unit motto “Clear And Open,” a textbook telephone phrase meaning that a circuit has been successfully repaired or constructed.The 29th Signal Battalion was originally constituted in the Army of the United States as the 29th Signal Construction Battalion on 20 March 1942 and activated on 10 April 1942 and Camp Gordon, Georgia. During World War II, it served in the European Theater and took part in five campaigns: Normandy, Northern France, Rhineland, Ardennes-Alsace, and Central Europe.

It was redesignated as the Signal Light Construction Battalion on 14 May 1945, then reorganized and redesignated the 29th Signal Construction Battalion on 15 August 1949. It was subsequently allotted to the Regular Army on 31 October, and in October 1953 it was redesignated for the final time as the 29th Signal Battalion. It was then inactivated in August 1963 and remained so until reactivation on 1 May 1983 at Fort Lewis, Washington. It was assigned to the 142nd Signal Brigade, but was either reflagged or redesignated before that unit was inactivated in August 2008.

The DUI is the picture is the one you will receive.
