 The insignia alludes heavily to the unit's history with the 82d Airborne Division.In 2015 the brigade ceased being a separate unit and became part of the 82d Airborne Division.As a division unit, its personnel adopted the division's shoulder sleeve insignia and the maroon beret with a brigade-specific flash; however, most of the brigade's personnel are not on jump status and only wear the maroon beret and shoulder sleeve insignia because these are unit uniform items.
