Before 1981, the red ribbon of the emblem had been inscribed with "AIR RESCUE SQ.” and was later changed to "AIR RESCUE GROUP", which has remained to this day.

 | Group feature emblem (left shoulder) - currentSince the 1990s, the Group has been carrying out civilian relief work, especially after the 921 earthquake in 1999.

 | Aircraft (S70C-6) emblem (right shoulder) - currentThis emblem was designed in response to the change in the type of missions for the Group, as the S70C-6 aircraft began to be on standby for night search and rescue since New Year's Day in 1999, and the Group is ready to go on missions at any time in any weather. The S70C-6 aircraft is the center of the design, the bottom of which is lined with the shape of Tai Chi symbolizing the valiance to fly day and night to provide timely rescue, so that the common people can be saved from danger and live on.

 | Emblems of the Rescue Group - Former emblems (1976-1981)This design centers on the original emblem, with the 12 prongs around it symbolizing the 12 rays of light from the white sun in the blue sky shining on the people, and inlaid with the wording "Blessing from Heaven with Renewed Life and Hope", which illustrates that the Group braved the hardships and provided unlimited hope to the victims in a timely manner. At that time, the Group was still an independent squadron, so it was marked with a small ribbon under the emblem (the word Rescue SQ). |
 | Group feature emblem (left shoulder)(before 2001)In 1976, the original aircraft emblem was changed to a group emblem, and the shoulder emblems were added to the left and right, showing the characteristics of the Group and the fan-shaped pattern of the aircrafts, respectively.

S-70C's front view is the focus of the design, and the subscript notes that S-70C-1A is the search and rescue aircraft model, while the superscript describes the aircrew's duties as AC commander, IP instructor, FP captain, CP copilot, FE aircrew mechanic officer, FM aircrew mechanic chief, and MT aircrew medical (specialist) sergeant, and the background color is used to distinguish their duties with pilots in green and mechanic chief and specialist sergeant in yellow. |
