The badge features a vertically positioned machete at its centre, a traditional symbol of Spanish Army guerrilla and special operations units. This element represents combat readiness, survival skills and the ability to operate in difficult terrain.
The machete is surrounded by two branches of golden oak leaves, symbolizing strength, courage, endurance and the military virtues associated with these units.
