1st Special Operations Squadron

The emblem is symbolic of the squadron and its mission. The red, white and blue are the national colors that ride with the squadron into battle and victory. The pale alludes to the numeral 1, the unit's numerical designation and marks it as first among its peers. The eagle represents the squadron's air mission and the three arrows depict the unit's capability to strike, to reconnoiter and to resupply. The compass role signifies the squadron's worldwide reaction capability. The colors gold and blue denote the sky, the primary theater of Air Force operations, with gold referring to the sun and day, and blue to night, and also indicating the squadron's ability to work in darkness as well as light. The emblem bears the national colors and the Air Force colors gold and ultramarine blue.
