History

4th Command and Control Squadron

4th Command and Control Squadron (4 CACS) to the Wyoming Air National Guard
on 2 July 2002, with the activation of the 153 CACS and the inactivation of 4 CACS.

721st Mobile Command and Control Squadron

The 721st Mobile Command and Control Squadron (721 MCCS) was reassigned from the 721st Support Group (

FE Warren AFB) on 1 July 1999.[1] The 153 CACS inherited equipment and mission from the 721 MCCS when the latter unit was inactivated in 1998.[2]

Logo Significance

The armored warhorse in the upper left quadrant of the shield is the symbol of that elite mobile warrior, the knight. The trumpet, or horn, in the lower right quadrant of the shield represents the instrument of command and control used by ancient armies. Kings and great nobles used the trumpet to call their martial forces to war as well as to control their movements on the battlefield. Thus, the symbols of the mobile warrior and the military horn are significant for the 721st Mobile Command and Control Squadron. Further, the color white on the unit shield traditionally denotes honor while the color red implies valor and even the blood of life or spirit of self-sacrifice.

Both the color red and the horn tie the 721 MCCS to an early medieval legend, that of "

knights.[3]
