Resume
- In the center is a Roman cuirass below a vertical unsheathed sword, point up, the pommel resting on the neck opening of the cuirass and a Phrygian cap supported on the sword point, all between on the right an esponton and on the left a musket with fixed bayonet crossed in saltire behind the cuirass and passing under the sword guard.
- To the right of the cuirass and esponton is a flag of unidentified designs with cords and tassels, on a flagstaff with spearhead, above a cannon barrel, the muzzle end slanting upward behind the cuirass, in front of the drum, with two drumsticks and the fly end of the flag draped over the drumhead; below, but partly in front of the cannon barrel, is a pile of three cannon balls.
- To the left of the cuirass and musket is a national color of the Revolutionary War period, with cords and tassels, on a flagstaff with spearhead, similarly arranged above a mortar on a carriage, the mortar facing inward and in front of the lower portion of the color and obscuring the lower part of it; below the mortar are two bomb shells placed side by side.
- Centered above the Phrygian cap is a rattlesnake holding in its mouth a scroll inscribed "This We'll Defend."
- Centered below the cuirass are the Roman numerals "MDCCLXXVIII." (1778).
Symbolism
- The central element, the Roman cuirass, is a symbol of strength and defense.
- The sword, esponton (a type of half-pike formerly used by subordinate officers), musket, bayonet, cannon, cannon balls, mortar, and mortar bombs are representative of Army implements.
- The drum and drumsticks are symbols of public notification of the Army's purpose and intent to serve the Nation and its people.
- The Phrygian cap (often called the Cap of Liberty) supported on the point of an unsheathed sword and the motto "This We'll Defend" on a scroll held by the rattlesnake is a symbol depicted on some American colonial flags and signifies the Army's constant readiness to defend and preserve the United States.
- This "War Office" seal continues to be used to this day when legal certification is necessary to authenticate as "official" documents and records of the Department of the Army.#Black is indicative of determination and constancy. Gold represents achievement, dignity, and honor.
Background
- The traditional seal used during and since the Revolution was redesignated as the Seal of the Department of the Army by the National Security Act of 1947.
- The Department of the Army seal is authorized by Section 3011, Title 10, United States Code.
- The date "MDCCLXXVIII" and the designation "War Office" are indicative of the origin of the seal.
- The date (1778) refers to the year of its adoption.
- The term "War Office" used during the Revolution, and for many years afterward, was associated with the Headquarters of the Army.
