US ARMY DENTAL ACTIVITY FORT EUSTIS
Official blazon
A silver color metal and enamel device 1 3/16 inches (3.02cm) in height overall consisting of a maroon cross with an embattlement a top its vertical arm and nine silver squares across its lateral arm, divided alternately four above and five below with corners conjoined, the cross interlaced by a silver annulet passing in front of the vertical arms and inscribed "GUARDIANS OF" on the upper portion and "ORAL HEALTH" on the lower in maroon; all open areas within the annulet green.
Origin/meaning
Maroon and white are the colors used for the Army Medical Department and a cross is emblematic of aid. The conjoined squares, symbolic of advanced technology, allude to the unit's capabilities of mission accomplishment. The annulet simulates a wheel and refers to the Transportation Center at Fort Eustis. The interlacing and embattlements denote strength and refer to DENTAC Fort Eustis, VA.
The Distinctive Unit Insignia was approved on 2 Jun 1980.
