Origin/meaning
Silver Gray and golden yellow are the colors traditionally associated with the Finance Corps. The lozenge simulates the Finance Corps' insignia of branch. Red, white and blue and the cluster of three stars are adapted from the Tennessee State flag. Tennessee was the sixteenth state to enter the Union; this is acknowledged by the number of billets on the border. They are gold, thus alluding to the monetary functions of the organization. The border denotes unity.
The Coat of Arms and Distinctive Unit Insignia, was both approved on 27 September 1993.
