in height overall consisting of a vertical Purple sword
with Gold blade in front of a vertical White scroll and
radiant from base two Red lightning flashes all in front
of Gold rays radiant from base; all inclosed by a
circular Purple scroll, ends terminating at each side of
the blade at the apex, and inscribed "SECURE SERVE
STABILIZE" in Gold letters.
- Symbolism:
Purple and white are colors used for Civil Affairs. The
sword together with the white scroll signifies the
Group's military government and civil affairs mission in
support of combat and post combat military operations.
The red flashes connote the courageous and efficient
service provided by the organization and also the swift
dissemination of required public information. The light
rays, indicative of knowledge, refer to the language
capabilities and comprehension of legal systems
necessary for effective area administration. The four
design elements (the scroll, sword, and two flashes)
together with the circular scroll, and five parts of the
sword (the blade, two quillons of the cross guard, the
grip and pommel) allude to the numerical designation of
the Group.
