Green and yellow are colors traditionally associated with the Military Police Corps. The tower is representative of the unit's World War II service in Europe and suggests physical security. Security is also denoted by the key and further emphasizes the unit's mission to provide administration and support for the operation of an internment facility. The sword is shown saltirewise and with point down to represent the nonbelligerent security mission. Black denotes strength of purpose. | |||
The Coat of Arms was approved on 19 November 1996. It was amended to correct the blazon of the shield on 7 December 2001. The Distinctive Unit Insignia was approved on 3 June 1991. It was amended to revise the description on 14 June 1991. | |||
