The triangle is taken from the badge of the Survival Training School, and the stars and rod of Aesculapius are taken from that of the Canadian Forces School of Aeromedical Training, the latter being redesignated the Canadian Forces School of Survival and Aeromedical Training. The stars symbolize a night sky and represent the air component of the school. The triangle is a symbol of danger and illustrates the survival component of the school. Its green colour evokes the forest. The rod of Aesculapius symbolizes medicine.
