To change information
Description
On a blue shield 2 7/8 inches (7.30 cm) in height and 2 3/8 inches (6.03 cm) in width, a yellow griffin segreant on a twist of yellow and blue.

Symbolism
The shoulder sleeve insignia is adapted from the crest of the Michigan Army National Guard. The griffin is a symbol of vigilance and readiness. As the original exploration and settlement within the State was French, the twists of the wreath are yellow (gold) and blue.

The insignia was redesignated for the Michigan Army National Guard Element, Joint Force Headquarters and amended to update the description and add a symbolism effective 1 October 2003. (TIOH Dwg.
