426 ABS Shield

The shield of the 426th Air Base Squadron includes several elements of special significance. The Eagle is a symbol of our nation, the United States of America. The compass rose is the symbol of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization; the United States and Norway are founding members of the 29-member Alliance. The three swords represent the Sverd i fjell, a local monument on the shore of the Hafjrsfjord where in the year 872 following the Battle of Hafjrsfjord, Harald håfagre united all of Norway as one Kingdom.
