Shoulder Sleeve Insignia
Description
On a disc divided vertically blue and scarlet with a 1/8 inch (.32cm) yellow border, 3 inches (7.62cm) in diameter overall, two white eagles’ heads conjoined back to back, beaks yellow, eyes detailed black.
Symbolism
The two eagles’ heads are in reference to the unit’s motto, “Twice the Citizen,” and their Reserve mission. The eagle faces in both directions, denoting vigilance and a wide-ranging scope of ability and expertise. Red, white and blue are the colors of the United States; gold stands for excellence.
Background
A shoulder sleeve insignia was originally authorized on 24 June 1991 for the U.S. Army Reserve Command. On 26 August 1997 the insignia was cancelled and the new insignia was authorized. (TIOH Drawing Number A-1-795)
