Blazon
[edit]- Description[1]: Azure, upon a Greek sword, in scabbard bendwise, the helmet of Pallas Or. A shield of flag blue displaying the device of the Military Academy in gold.
Symbolism
[edit]- The emblem consists of the helmet of Pallas Athene, which has for centuries been the symbol of wisdom and learning, over a Greek sword, the symbol of the military profession. The two together typify the military and educational functions of the Academy.

- The insignia was redesignated on Oct 1970 for wear by the Staff and Faculty, U. S. Military Academy.
Notes
[edit]- ↑ This Distinctive Unit Insignia is worn by the Troop Units, Staff and Faculty of the Military Academy, NOT the Cadets.
