Golden yellow (gold), one of the colors of the Finance Corps, signifies the unit's relationship to the Corps. Blue, one of our national colors, is associated with prestige. The eagle, a national emblem featured on some of our coins and paper currency, is symbolic of the unit's swift performance of its mission. The diamond shape is adapted from the branch insignia of the Finance Corps. The globe alludes to its worldwide services as do the rays extending to all points of the compass. The rays also refer to the numerous services provided by the unit to the soldier. | |||
The Distinctive Unit Insignia was originally approved for the U.S. Army Finance and Accounting Center on 1 November 1985. It was redesignated for the U.S. Army Finance Command on 8 March 1996. | |||
