7TH PERSONNEL GROUP, US ARMY
Official blazon
A gold color metal and enamel device 1 1/8 inches (2.86 cm) in height overall, consisting of a dark blue septagon, one point down bordered gold bearing a gold Roman Centurian’s helmet detailed dark blue and garnished scarlet, superimposed at bottom by a scarlet scroll inscribed “FIGHT TO SERVE” in gold letters.
Origin/meaning
Dark blue and scarlet are the colors traditionally associated with personnel units; gold signifies honor. The septagon alludes to the numerical designation of the Group and the Corps it supports. The helmet characterizes combat readiness and the individual soldier while symbolizing the unit’s World War II service and Rome-Arno campaign participation. The red scroll suggests the Meritorious Unit Commendation streamer awarded to the unit for action in the Mediterranean Theater.
The Distinctive Unit Insignia was approved on 6 July 1990.
