Origin/meaning
Silver gray and golden yellow are the colors traditionally used by Finance units. Black is for strength, constancy, solidity, and stability. Gold symbolizes excellence, high ideals, and achievement. The four mountain peaks represent the unit’s four campaigns during World War II. The mountains allude to the Rocky Mountains, location of the unit, and denote fortitude and steadfastness. The bee, signifying industry, is a symbol of Utah. The gold disc alludes to monetary exchange and the organization’s mission.
The Coat of Arms and Distinctive Unit Insignia, was both approved on 16 Juli 1996.
