The 44th Medical Brigade Distinctive Unit Insignia was originally approved on 12 August 1966. It was redesignated for the 44th Medical Command on 6 August 2001. A simple design consisting of a maroon saltire cross (“x”) and white (silver) standard cross, it incorporates the colors of the Army Medical Department while conveying the medical and surgical missions of the organization. Additionally, the four arms of the two crosses denote the numerical designation of the unit.
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. Current regulations do not permit the DUI to be worn on the Dress variations of either uniform, however.Full guidance on wear of the DUI is found in DA Pamphlet 670-1,
Section 21-22, "Distinctive unit insignia."
