Origin/meaning

Silver gray and golden yellow are the colours traditionally associated with the Finance Corps. The Star denotes excellence and the crossed tomahawks respresent military preparedness. The quill refers to the unit's support mission. The compass rose denotes readiness and overseas service during World War II. The wreath of laurel denotes honour and achievement. The bezant recalls courage, and its center simulates the shape of the Finance Corps inisgnia, commemorating the unit's finance service. The Coat of arms was approved on 22 March 1994 and ameneded to correct the symbolism of the crest on 27 May 1994. Literature: The Institute of Heraldry, US Army
