U.S. ARMY TRAINING CENTER AND FORT JACKSON UNIT CREST (DUI)

Also known as unit crests, Distinctive Unit Insignias (DUIs) are 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 (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.

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.

The Distinctive Unit Insignia for U.S. Army Training Center – Fort Jackson was originally approved on 23 February 1976. In its shield portion is a rendering of the statue of General Andrew Jackson which stands at the main entrance of Fort Jackson, which is located in Columbia, South Carolina and was originally established as Camp Jackson in 1917. Jackson's military career exemplified the professionalism that the Training Center seeks to imbue in the more than 40,000 newly enlisted Soldiers that undergo Basic Combat Training and Advanced Individual Training there each year.

A blue background represents faithfulness and loyalty; red stands for courage; gold is for excellence. The shield, an emblem traditionally associated with warriors, symbolizes the mission of defending our nation. “Victory Starts Here” re-emphasizes the importance of the skills that are taught at the Center.

Besides the facilities associated with Training Center, Fort Jackson is also the home of the U.S. Army’s Chaplain Center and School, Chaplain Museum, Financial Management School, and the Soldier Support Institute. It is also the site of the U.S. Army Basic Combat Training Museum, originally known as Fort Jackson Museum when it opened in 1974.

The entire installation is operated and managed by the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command.
