US ARMY DENTAL ACTIVITY WALTER REED
Official blazon
Distinctive Unit Insignia. Description: A circular device of silver color metal and enamel 1 1/4 inches (3.18cm) in diameter consisting of a silver disc charged with a maroon cross throughout bearing a silver torch in pale, and overall at center a silver helmet of Minerva; ringing the lower two-thirds of the disc and resting over all but the uppermost arm of the cross a maroon motto scroll bearing the words "UNITY WISDOM AND SERVICE" in silver.
Origin/meaning
Maroon and white (silver) are the colors of the Dental Corps. The circular shape suggests unity within the Army mission. The torch, a symbol for knowledge, alludes to Walter Reed Medical Center, a national medical educational institution. The helmet of Minerva, goddess of wisdom and patroness of medicine, is taken from the Walter Reed Medical Center's coat of arms.
The Distinctive Unit Insignia was approved on 21 April 1981.
