Shoulder sleeve insignia

Purple and white are the colors used for Civil Affairs units.  The annulet or circle, a symbol for continuity and perfection, together with a chevron representing the gables of a house and also the military presence, symbolizes with the globe, the worldwide aspects and mission of organization.  Furthermore, the circle in its sum total of 360 degrees alludes not only to the numerical designation, but combined with the chevron also forms the initials of the organization.[2]

The shoulder sleeve insignia was approved on 28 January 1977.  It was amended to include an airborne tab on 23 March 2004.  It was amended to delete the airborne tab on 20 April 2016.  [2]
