On the original emblem, the Latin words "Robur Ex Vigilantia," meaning "In Vigilance is Strength," were below the shield as the wing's motto. For today's emblem, the words were replaced with "552nd Air Control Wing" and approved on Oct. 27, 1994.

The white background is for the new wing that performs its mission with honor; other shades of blue represent the 24-hour alert; gold is also for the wing's ability to maintain 360 degrees of vigilance. Lightning shows the electronic nature of the wing, and the winged battlement  represents guarding the nation's borders by air.
