Blazon
[edit]- A silver color metal and enamel device 1 3/16 (3.02 cm) in diameter consisting of a silver chevron on a red background bearing seven blue wavy vertical bands; in base a black embattled area with two merlons; encircling all, a continuous silver scroll of four folds inscribed on the upper three folds, "PRIDE" "HONOR" "SERVICE" in black letters.
- Overall, a yellow vertical sword, the tip charged with a scarlet drop.
Symbolism
[edit]- The elements of the design reflect the history of the 63rd Infantry Division.
- The silver chevron simulates a spearhead and is indicative of the aggressiveness displayed by the 63rd Infantry Division during the crossing of seven European rivers--the Saar, Rhine, Neckar, Jagst, Kocker, Rems, and Danube--during World War II.
- The rivers are represented by the seven blue wavy bands.
- The breaching of the Siegfried line at St. Ingbert and Hassell is symbolized by the two black merlons of the embattled area surmounted by the yellow sword with the scarlet drop taken from the shoulder sleeve insignia of the organization.
Background
[edit]- The distinctive unit insignia was originally approved for the 63rd U.S. Army Reserve Command on 1970-05-08.
- It was reassigned and authorized effective 1996-04-16, for the U.S. Army 63rd Regional Support Command.
- The insignia was redesignated for the U.S. Army Regional Readiness Command effective 2003-07-16.
- It was redesignated effective 2008-09-17, for the 63rd Regional Support Command.
