Insignia
- Description: A
gold color metal and enamel device 1 inch (2.54 cm) in
width overall consisting of a white tower with three
merlons behind five gold arrowheads conjoined with
points upward and forming an arch over a gold
demi-fleur-de-lis, all above a field arched at the base
of white and scarlet divided by a wavy line extending
from upper left to lower right and charged with ten
five-pointed gold stars, five on each side and
surmounted in the center with a gold sea horse, all
above a scarlet scroll bearing in center base and
extending slightly above and below the scroll a taeguk
scarlet and blue (ultramarine) charged with a gold star
and between four five-pointed stars on each side.
- Symbolism: The
masoned embattled tower, with the five arrowheads, and
the demi-fleur-de-lis over the field of ten gold stars
symbolize the unit's five assault landings at
Algeria-French Marocco, Sicily, Naples Foggia, Anzio,
Southern France and other combat service in Europe
during World War II. The scarlet scroll charged with
nine stars and bearing a taeguk in the colors of Korea
symbolizes the 36th Engineer Group's two Meritorious
Unit Citations, Korea, the Republic of Korea
Presidential Unit Citation and the unit's nine battle
honors in Korea. The sea horse on the diagonally divided
scarlet and white field relates to the Group's
Regimental association with the 36th Engineer Battalion
prior to 1945. Scarlet and white are the colors used by
Engineer units.
- Background: The
distinctive unit insignia was approved on 24 April 1970.
