Summary[edit]

Description
English: United States Army South crest
DESCRIPTION/BLAZON

A gold color metal and enamel device 1 3/16 inches (3.02 cm) in height consisting of a rectangle arced at top and bottom divided saltirewise gold and red and bearing a stylized blue "S"; overall a white Spanish galleon charged on the upper fore-topsail with a red cross formy, all enclosed at the bottom by a gold scroll inscribed "DEFENSE AND FRATERNITY" in black.

SYMBOLISM

The Spanish galleon and the colors red and gold are historically associated with the Caribbean and the command's theater of operations. The stylized "S" underscores the designation of the command, "South," while suggesting the two bodies of water -- the Atlantic (Caribbean) and the Pacific-- connected by the Panama Canal, with the red areas representing Central and South America.

BACKGROUND
The insignia was originally approved for the U.S. Army Forces Southern Command on June 24, 1969. It was reassigned for U.S. Army South on April 1, 1987. The insignia was amended to change the description and symbolism on July 29, 1996.
