Distinctive Unit Insignia: The disc horizontally divided blue, white, and red is suggested by the shoulder sleeve insignia. The eagle, which is a symbol of freedom, refers to part of the Command's motto and is also the National emblem. The sword, a symbol of protection and guardianship, alludes to the motto, and depicted unsheathed with point up denotes readiness for combat. The three swords signify the three components of the Army: Active Army, Army Reserve and Army National Guard. The insignia was approved effective 1 July 1973. | Distinctive Unit Insignia: The disc horizontally divided blue, white, and red is suggested by the shoulder sleeve insignia.
