Emblem

Emblem 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 winged star-in-circle is adapted from the Air Force logo and is a stylized representation of the North Star, which suggests the 11th Air Force’s home base in Alaska and the scope of the organization’s defense mission. The "11" refers to the numerical designation of the unit.
