The 101st Finance Management Support Unit Distinctive Unit Insignia, commonly called a unit crest or a DUI, was originally approved on 12 October 1993. It consists of a shield divided into silver-gray and golden-yellow halves, the branch colors of the Finance Corps, and a black scroll (black denotes solidity and solvency) with a golden-yellow inscription of the unit motto, “Eagle’s Treasure,” a reference to the 101st Airborne Division’s nickname “Screaming Eagles.”
In the center of the shield is a black lozenge (diamond shape) containing an eagle’s head with a pair of crossed red scimitars. The lozenge is adapted from the branch insignia of the Finance Corps, while the eagle again recalls the unit’s association with the 101st Airborne Division and represents military vigilance. The scimitars denote the two Southwest Asia campaigns in which the unit took part in 1990 and 1991.
Distinctive Unit Insignias 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 (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.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.
