558th US Army Artillery Group

558TH US ARMY ARTILLERY GROUP

Official blazon

A gold colored metal and enamel device 1 1/4 inches (3.18 cm) in height consisting of a gold eagle bearing on each extended and inverted wing a blue star and grasping in its right foot a black bomb, the eagle standing on a scarlet scroll inscribed “HONOR GUIDES OUR POWER” in gold letters, the ends of the scroll terminating at the eagle’s wings.

Origin/meaning

The colors scarlet and gold are for Artillery. The eagle stands for the United States; the bomb for Artillery missile warhead support. The two stars refer to the Group’s two-part mission, i.e., the command of assigned United States Army warhead support organizations and the furnishing of related advice to its host nation.

The Distinctive Unit Insignia was approved on 10 January 1967. Literature:Image from Wikimedia Commons
