Symbolism
Scarlet and yellow are the colors traditionally associated with Field Artillery. Blue denotes the Fires Brigade combat multipliers, the joint sections and mission with the Air Force and Marine Corps. The lightning bolt represents speed and striking power, identifying the other elements of the Brigade, both lethal and non-lethal effects. The cannon signifies the unit’s primary mission. The center black disc indicates munitions. The combination of the white and black disc alludes to the Brigade’s past affiliation as I Corps Artillery. The dice refers to the unit’s commitment to accomplish any combat operations, also depicting the unit’s designation “65.”
