The modified disc suggests the unit’s responsibility to provide pervasive, comprehensive, intelligence information and analysis. The combination of the shield vertically and the divided background of the disc alludes to the continuous intelligence missions and the day and night protection of cyberspace, reflecting the unit’s motto “Everywhere and Always…In The Fight.” The arrow symbolizes readiness; the lightning bolt denotes swiftness and the key conveys security of knowledge and truth. The five stars represent the unit’s support for the Joint Forces.
