The 82nd Signal Battalion Distinctive Unit Insignia, also called a unit crest or DUI, features a wavy vertical partition line; it represents the Rhine River flowing north and is a key waterway in the Rhineland where the unit served in World War II. A fleur-de-lis stands for combat service in France in both World Wars (represented by the counterchanging colors).
Two diamonds in the fluer-de-lis denote Belgium and the Netherlands, two top nations in the diamond-cutting industry. The winged chevron suggests the unit’s Airborne mission, with the color black taken from the field of the Belgian coat of Arms. Finally, chevron marks are the international Morse code for “82” and thus suggest the unit’s numerical designation.
The motto, “The Commander’s Voice,” reminds us of the critical role Signals play in the Command and Control function.
