Summary edit
- A gold color metal device blazoned: Per chevron reversed and debased Azure and Gules, two electrical flashes on partition line Or, on the first a pile throughout Argent, surmounted by a shell of the second, winged of the third. Attached below the shield a gold scroll inscribed "MILITANT" in blue letters.
Symbolism edit
- The escutcheon represents the coordinated activity of the different elements of the Antiaircraft Artillery.
- The base of red is the Artillery color.
- The thunderbolts indicate the employment of electrical power.
- A searchlight beam pierces the night sky of blue.
- In the shaft of light rises a winged projectile, flying swiftly and surely to its target.
- The thunderbolts are power; the shaft of light, the illustration of truth through knowledge; the sky, the illimitable regions of the upper air that Antiaircraft Artillery must conquer; the winged projectile, the spirit of the School, young, rising, indomitable.
