10 June 2011, Minister of National Defence Rasa Juknevičienė issued the order approving service badge for the Combat Divers Service of the Special Operations Forces of the Lithuanian Armed Forces.
A golden dagger surfacing from dark blue surge and twined round by two golden whipsnakes against a moss green background of a narrowing shield.
The surfacing dagger is a symbol of the Combat Diver Service's mission, armed resistance, and an emphasis of the call of duty for the motherland. Two whipsnakes are a symbol of the eternity, ongoing movement and resurrection, and for the military - teamwork, perpetually renewable and inexhaustible strength. The motif of dark blue surge is a symbol of the sea and refers to the CDS purpose. Moss green is the colour of SOF.
Author of the badge - Žana Vilks, holder of MA of Klaipėda Visual Design Department of Faculty of Architecture and Design of Vilnius Academy of Arts.
