U.S. ARMY 7TH ENGINEER BRIGADE PATCH (SSI)

The design of the 7th Engineer Brigade Shoulder Sleeve Insignia is a model of simplicity. On a shield are alternating scarlet and white stripes, seven in all; seven reflects the numerical designation of the organization, while scarlet and white have been designated as the branch colors of the Army Corps of Engineers since 1872.

Superimposed on the stripes is a saltire, a heraldric term for a diagonal cross or, simply put, an “X.” This is the symbol used on military maps to designate brigades at a glance; with just this much gleaning from the insignia, we know are looking at the insignia of the 7th Engineer Brigade.

Lastly is the castle. Besides invoking images of construction and defense, it is highly similar to a single section of the castle (left or right side) that appears on the Corps of Engineers branch insignia.

The 7th Engineer Brigade was formed in 1950 and quickly redesignated as the 7th Engineer Aviation Brigade. Stationed in Germany for its entire existence, the Brigade was inactivated in January 1992.
