Summary

Description
English: Description/Blazon

On a shield arced at top and bottom, 2 inches (5.08 cm) in width and 3 inches (7.62 cm) in height overall divided chevronwise, the upper and smaller portion white, and the lower and stepped portion purple bearing a white civic crown surmounting a white torch between a white quill and sword crossed saltirewise, the quill from upper right to lower left and separated by purple fimbriations, all within a 1/8 inch (.32 cm) purple border.

Symbolism The quill, sword and civic crown are symbolic of planning, training and readiness requisite to the United States Army's conduct of civic affairs and military government operations in countries in which United States Armed Forces are or may employed. The torch alludes to guidance and the vertical rises or steps simulate the silhouette of the Manhattan skyline adjoining the home area and location of the organization.

Background

The shoulder sleeve insignia was approved on 10 February 1977. (TIOH Dwg. No. A-1-609)
