Symbolism
Dark blue and scarlet are the branch colors of The Adjutant General's Corps; gold is symbolic of excellence. The quill represents the administrative mission of The Adjutant General's Corps. The swords stand for combat readiness and their red lightning bolt blades symbolize action and courage. The "embattled" division of the shield resembles a fortress and denotes military strength and preparedness. Combined with the color gold, it refers to Fort Knox, the national gold reserve, and the location of the unit. The two palm branches, emblems of victory, honor the unit's two World War II campaign participation credits for New Guinea and Luzon. The star symbolizes its Philippine Unit Citation. The unit's location and affiliation with the Armor School and Center are represented by the triangle, a symbol long associated with Armor and typifying strength, support and stability.
Background
The distinctive unit insignia was approved on 4 September 1987.
