The white rimmed blue disc simulates a lagoon and the Islands of the Pacific. The white star on blue, suggested by the Air Force insignia, alludes to the Battalion's aviation classification. The saltire, taken from the arms of Amsterdam, represents a landing strip and also refers to the Dutch founding Poughkeepsie, the organization's headquarters. The blue star refers to the period when Poughkeepsie was the capital of the State of New York, and to New York's ratification of the Constitution of the United States.
- Crest: The crest is that of the United States Army Reserve.
