- Symbolism: The units origin as artillery
is represented by the colors scarlet and gold and its infantry
assignment by the color blue. The sun symbolizes knowledge and
vigilance and a spear is emblematic of leadership, protection
and guidance; together they represent the overall mission and
capabilities of the organization. The sun, spears, green mound
and ivy blue bars were suggested by the Great Seal of the State
of California and refer to the unit's home in the city of San
Mateo in the San Francisco Bay Area.
