| Description |
Emblem of the 4th Space Operations Squadron, a squadron of the United States Air Force Blazon: Sable, a mullet argent garnished of the first, winged or issuing four lightning flashes to base gules surmounting a terrestrial globe in base azure gridlined of the second, all within a diminished bordure, gold. Attached above and below the shield are blue scrolls edged with narrow yellow borders. Significance: Blue and yellow are the Air Force colors. Blue alludes to the sky, the primary theater of Air Force operations. Yellow refers to the sun and the excellence required of Air Force personnel. The black background symbolizes space and suggests the link between ground-based operations and satellites. The star represents the satellites of the Milstar System which the squadron operates. The detail lines of the star denote the unique cross-link capabilities of the Milstar System. The wings on the star allude to the unit's historical reconnaissance lineage. The lightning flashes represent instant electronic communication provided by Milstar and the squadron and also indicate the unit's numerical designation. The globe signifies the ability of the unit to operate Milstar as a constant communication network worldwide in any theater. |
