Distinctive Unit Insignia and Device: Shield: The chevron is indicative of the martial character of the College and the three lamps symbolize study and learning and also typify the three-part Army -- the Regular Army, the Army National Guard and the Army Reserve. Crest: The eagle crest is the National emblem and, as perched with wings extended, is indicative of alertness. It is in appearance much like the eagle which surmounted the salle porte of the main school building in 1925; the scroll in his beak carries the word "LEAVENWORTH," the site of the College. Helmet and Mantling: The helmet is the helmet of a gentleman or esquire. The red mantling with the colors of the shield completes the National colors.
