Description
On a green square 2 1/4 inches (5.72 cm) on each side point up with a 1/8 inch (.32 cm) black border, five white stars edged silver gray along top sides above a sword with a yellow hilt detailed black and a silver gray blade with a black center line issuing red and yellow flames.

Symbolism
The stars represent the five mission elements of the Command: Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, High-Yield Explosive Response. The stars also underscore the command being a multi-component unit in today’s threat environment. The flaming sword highlights this country’s aggressive stance with the battle against domestic and international terrorism. Green alludes to the Army as a land force. Black is in honor of the personnel who died on September 11, 2001, and the War Against Terror.

Background
