US ARMY DENTAL COMMAND
Official blazon
A gold color metal and enamel device 1 1/8 inches (2.86cm) in height consisting of a maroon hexagon bearing a white crenelated triangle charged with a gold rod of Aesculapius, all enclosed in base by a green laurel wreath superimposed by a gold scroll inscribed "GLOBAL CARE" in maroon
Origin/meaning
Maroon and white are the colors traditionally used by the Dental Corps. Gold represents the precious metals used by dentists. The hexagon represents the six Army imperatives: quality people, training, leader development, force mix, doctrine and modernization. The triangle suggests the Greek letter "delta," a symbol of dentistry. Its white color alludes to the absence of disease and the dental profession's focus on prevention and infectious disease control. The triangle is embattled to symbolize the U.S. Army Dental Command's mission to ensure a ready force. The rod of Aesculapius is a symbol of healing and medicine; the laurel wreath underscores the command's quality of care, dental readiness and education programs.
The Distinctive Unit Insignia was approved on 6 September 1996.
