brigade's total Army structure as well. With 2,600 active

The lion, a symbol of courage and ferocity, is blue, an
allusion to the unit's Airborne designation. The lightning
flashes symbolize communications, and their position,
saltirewise, implies strength. Originally issued in a two-inch
width, the design was enlarged to match the width of the
airborne tab.
