A checkered field in silver gray and oriental blue incorporates the branch colors of Military Intelligence in the Distinctive Unit Insignia (aka “unit crest” or DUI) of the 311th Military Intelligence Battalion; the pattern suggests the gathering of data to assist in the formulation of military strategy, with the saltirewise lightning flashes evoking the image of using electronics to collect the data. The dragon is an allusion for service Vietnam (see below), with its scarlet hue recalling the color of the three Meritorious Unit Commendations awarded to a unit in the Battalion before it was been annexed. Fleurs-de-lis are for European service in World War II.

“Eyes Of The Eagle” are the unit motto. The distinctive unit insignia was approved on 15 April 1982.
