Symbolism
</p>
Ultramarine blue is traditionally associated with aviation units. The gyronny background simulates the movement of rotating helicopter blades and refers to the mission of the 159th Aviation Battalion in its airlift capability. The contrasting colors further symbolize the continuous (day and night) operations during visual weather conditions. The red bend and the gold dragon refer to the 159th Aviation Battalion's service in Vietnam.
