Very nice work here by TIOH from Col Harry Temple’s time as director: the arms of the 502d Military Intelligence Battalion.

Argent on a pale between two beacon fires in base Azure enflamed Or a beacon fire in chief Argent also enflamed Or.
The official explanation of symbolism: "The three beacon fires, representing the system of sending messages in Korea until 1885, allude to the three battle honors awarded to the unit for services in the Korean War. The gold of the flames commemorates unit decorations received by the unit." Oriental blue and white are the branch colors for military intelligence.
I’m inclined to call the flames a tincture violation. This is even more apparent on the chrome finish of the DUI than on the official arms. I personally always disliked this one when we were wearing berets because the two argent sections would shine and look like Captain’s bars. I don’t know how many Privates got saluted. :D
In ‘Nam (25th MID) when our lower-level NCO’s went in the field with infantry units, we had them wear "US" on their collars in lieu of rank insignia, then let the troops see our officers brace & salute them, and decline to respond to any questions re: who are those guys…
The Battalion’s Arms also has the following Crest:
"On a wreath of the color, argent and azure, issuing from a wreath of laurel or with a Korean taeguk at center proper, a griffin’s head of the third langued gules."
The rationale: "The griffin is a symbol of vigilance, the essential attribute for effective intelligence work. The taeguk represents the Republic of Korea Presidental Unit citation, and the wreath refers to the Meritorious Unit Commendation (Army) awarded to the battalion for service in Korea. Gold is used to represent exellence and achievements of the unit."
Info from the book Military Intelligence (Army Linage Series) by John Patrick Finnegan and Romana Danysh.
