The Combat Service ID Badge worn by U.S. Army personnel assigned to Multi-National Corps Iraq was approved on 14 January 2005. Our national colors are found in the insignia’s red oval, white (silver) field, and wavy blue bands: red is sacrifice and courage, white is for purity of intention, and blue is for loyalty and faithfulness.
A pair of wavy bars divided by a thin wavy line of white are an allusion to the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers and Iraq’s nickname as the “land of two rivers.” The black pheon (arrow) is a symbol of military prowess and power, while the palm wreath honors the service of the Multi-National Corps and American Soldiers in Iraq.
Established in May 2004, Multi-National Corps-Iraq was a subordinate command of Multi-National Force-Iraq that developed and directed the tactics used in the battlespace. By December 2009, Multi-National Corps had been folded into Multi-National Force-Iraq and inactivated.
