Insignia
102nd Intelligence Wing emblemA standard shield, surrounded on the edge by a diminished yellow border. The upper part of the shield is blue, with one gray aircraft with a white trail pointing out from the left side. The plane is flying over the northeastern portion of the western hemisphere, which is colored in green and light blue. On the front of the gray aircraft with a white outline is a cockpit, with the jet firing three rockets. The three rockets trail white smoke and are aimed the same direction as the aircraft. Under the nose of the plane are two black aircraft coming out of clouds and rising up towards the jet. Attached to the shield is a white scroll edged with the same color border as the shield, surrounding the inscribed "102D INTELLIGENCE WING" in blue
