Description
On a rectangular background with rounded top and bottom 3 inches (7.62 cm) in height and 2 inches (5.08 cm) in width, divided per pale nebuly white and blue; the white portion extending around the edge of the blue portion to form a 1/8 inch (.32 cm) border; two bayonets 2 5/16 inches (5.87 cm) in height with points up, counterchanged blue on white and white on blue.

Symbolism
The blue is for Infantry and the bayonets also indicate that the organization is an Infantry unit, while the nebuly division is representative of clouds and indicates that the organization was Airborne.
