Description/Blazon:

A rectangle arched at the top and bottom with a yellow border, divided per pale into ultramarine blue and scarlet. Between two yellow lightning bolts radiating pilewise in base is a stylized missile of the same color. In chief, a chevron of nine white stars is accompanied on either side of the missile head by four white stars arranged in a square diamond configuration.

Symbolism:

Scarlet and yellow are traditional colors of Air Defense Artillery. The Nike Hercules missile, last used for ground-based air defense of the U.S. Homeland, signifies the Brigade's renewed commitment to this mission. The seventeen stars represent Ohio, the seventeenth state to join the Union and the unit's home state. The diverging lightning bolts symbolize radar acquisition and rapid response. Red denotes valor, yellow/gold represents excellence, and blue signifies the clear skies the Brigade protects.

The shoulder sleeve insignia was approved effective September 1, 2008.
