U.S. ARMY 1ST INFORMATION OPERATIONS COMMAND UNIT CREST (DUI)

More commonly referred to as a unit crest, the First Information Operations Command (LAND) Distinctive Unit Insignia was approved on 21 May 2004. A branch-immateriel organization with multiple components, the Command was assigned a variety of tasks involving Intelligence, Operations, Signal, and Psychological Operations missions designed to develop new forms of warfare.

A green circle forms the basis of the insignia, with the circle’s interior divided into black and white halves. The circle is a symbol of the unit’s worldwide operations, with the color green emphasizing the “LAND” aspect of their mission. The black and white semicircles visually suggest the unit’s need to perform a round-the-clock, night-and-day watch. A lightning flash and sword are crossed in the center, with the lightning connoting speed and the Command’s capability to strike whenever and wherever required; the sword signifies the unit’s responsibility and ability to protect and defend all forces in harm’s way.

Also known as a unit crest or DUI, a Distinctive Unit Insignia is worn by all Soldiers (except General Officers) in units that have been authorized to be issued the device. It is worn centered on the shoulder loops of the Army Green Service Uniform (AGSU) and the blue Army Service Uniform (ASU, Enlisted only) with the base of the insignia toward the outside shoulder seam. DUIs are not worn on the Dress variations of either uniform, however.

More guidance on wear of the DUI is found in DA Pamphlet 670-1,
Section 21-22, "Distinctive unit insignia" and 21–3(d) and (e), "Beret" and "Garrison Cap," respectively.
