Unit
Insignia
- Description: A
silver color metal and enamel device 1 1/4 inches
(3.18cm) in height overall consisting of a silver disc
charged with a green enamel horse’s head and
issuing from the top a red enamel flame, all in front of
a background of three vertical enamel wedge shaped
segments, first gray, the center white, and the last
black, all below two silver quills crossed at the top
with points downward, in base on each side of the wedge
shape a semi-circular green enamel area surmounting a
silver lightning flash with point down and inward, all
above a silver scroll double folded at each end and
inscribed in red enamel letters, "Veritas."
- Symbolism:
Bottle green and gray are colors used by the
Psychological units. Gray, white and black are used to
represent the three types of propaganda; the flame
stands for the unit’s capability to penetrate the
darkness of ignorance and to exemplify the truth. The
quills facing left and right stand for the unit’s
record of constant alertness. The horse’s head
represents the knight in chess, the only piece capable
of moving indirectly and of striking from within enemy
territory. The "TWO" lightning flashes, "TWO"
quills and the "TWO" green areas all allude to
the numerical designation of the 2d Psychological
Operations Group with the lightning flashes giving
special emphasis to speed in communications..
- Background: The
distinctive unit insignia was authorized on 30 Jan 1969.
