The 383d Military Intelligence Battalion can trace its lineage to a battalion of the same name constitution on 8 February 1951 in the Organized Reserve Corps. The battalion was activated on 1 March 1951 in Newark, New Jersey. On 9 July 1952, the Organized Reserve Corps was redesignated as the Army Reserve and the battalion consequently transferred. On 28 February 1953, the battalion was inactivated. [1]
On 28 March 1996, the battalion's headquarters became the Headquarters and Service Company, and the battalion consequently reconstituted. [1] The battalion joined the 464th Chemical Brigade, and would remain part of the brigade until 1 October 2007 when it was relieved. [2]

The organization of the battalion is as follows: [5] [6]
Oriental Blue and silver gray are the colors traditionally used by Military Intelligence. The griffin, celebrated in heraldry for courage and resourcefulness, symbolizes the expertise and capability of the 383d Military Intelligence Battalion. It is grasping a sword denoting readiness and the will to engage an adversary. The double orle reflects the motto's reference to being heard, suggesting waves of transmitted sound in communication and conveyance of information. It suggests also the duplicity concomitant with carrying out the intelligence mission. White indicates integrity, scarlet denotes sacrifice and courage; together with blue they represent the United States. The crest is that of the U. S. Army Reserve. [9]
The coat of arms was approved on 10 September 1997. [9]
