Insignia
- Description: A
gold color metal and enamel device 1 1/8 inches (2.86cm)
in height overall consisting of a square; one angle up,
the field divided vertically and bevelled purple and
white, the purple part bearing a vertical white enamel
quill and the white part bearing a vertical red sword
point up all above a gold scroll inscribed "MILITARY
CIVIL ACCORD" in purple letters.
- Symbolism:
Purple and white are the colors used for Civil Affairs.
The tilted square represents the geographic boundaries
of Washington, D.C., home area of the 300th Civil
Affairs Group. The square also represents strength and
solidarity and alludes to the adjective "square"
for fairness and honesty, essential traits in the
fulfillment of the Civil Affairs mission. The
interlocking halves of the square further represent the
dual but integrated military - civil role of the
organization graphically represented by the sword and
the quill.
- Background: The
distinctive unit insignia was approved on 2 Mar 1971.
