552ND US ARMY ARTILLERY GROUP
Official blazon
A gold color metal and enamel device 1 1/8 inches (2.86 cm) in width overall consisting of five red arrows protruding above a gold masoned wall with five merlons and charged with two chevronels interlaced, all above a semi-circular red scroll folded back at each end and inscribed “MISSION AND TEAMWORK” in gold letters.
Origin/meaning
The protruding arrows symbolize the fire power of the unit. The fortification refers to the Group’s mission with NATO, while the chevronels allude to the unit’s support of two NATO countries. The five arrows, five merlons and two chevronels “552,” further distinguish the numerical designation of the Group. Red is a color used by Artillery units.
The Distinctive Unit Insignia was approved on 21 November 1968. Literature: Image from Wikimedia Commons
