U.S. ARMY RESERVE COMMAND UNIT CREST (DUI)

The United States Army Reserve Command Distinctive Unit Insignia, also known as a unit crest or a DUI, was approved on 7 March 1991. Its blue, scarlet, and white (silver) are the national colors and represent the United States the values and qualities it embodies: courage (red), loyalty (blue) and purity of conviction (white/silver). In the center of the insignia is a shield, a device associated with defense of country. Behind the shield are two crossed sabers that stand for the dual responsibility carried by each member of the Army Reserve as a citizen and a member of the military. The merging of these two duties is represented by the tree on the shield and further emphasized the vertical division and the countercharged colors used to render it, all of which combine to highlight the motto of “Twice The Citizen.” The tree is a symbol of strength, endurance, and growth, all qualities that empower the pursuit and preservation of peace.

The 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. Full 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.
