The arms of SAC are displayed on a shield. The [[Heraldry|heraldric]] description is: Azure two clouds blanc shaded azure-gris, the one issuing from sinister chief and the other from dexter base, a cubit arm in armor in bend, issuing from sinister, the hand grasping a branch of olive vert and three lightning flashes gules. That is, on a blue field, two white-and-blue-gray-shaded clouds, one entering from the upper left-hand corner (as the holder of the shield might face the ''viewer'', instead of the viewer looking at the shield itself) and the other from the bottom right, an extended and bent forearm, entering from the left, the hand holding a green olive branch and three red lightning flashes.

The blue field represents the sky, which was SAC's theater of operations. The clouds signify SAC's ability to strike in all kinds of weather. The armored hand represents power; the lightning, speed; and the olive branch, peace--the thing that SAC tried to keep by being ever-ready to fight war on a devastating scale.
