Yellow refers to the sun and the excellence required of Air Force personnel. The black background symbolizes space and suggests the link between ground-based operations and satellites.

The wings on the star allude to the unit's historical reconnaissance lineage. The lightning flashes represent instant electronic communication provided by Milstar and the squadron and also indicate the unit's numerical designation. The globe signifies the ability of the unit to operate Milstar as a constant communication network worldwide in any theater.
