Origin/meaning
The colors are green and gold for Military Police. Fasces, first carried by the lictors of the consuls of the Roman Republic as a symbol of duly constituted authority, are considered particularly appropriate for use by the Military Police organizations. They represent the World War II battle honors of Rome-Arno and Naples-Foggia as well as the Battalion's function of maintaining law and order.
The Coat of Arms was originally approved for the 327th Military Police Battalion, U.S. Army Reserve on 7 April 1953. It was cancelled on 23 May 1972. The Coat of Arms was reinstated for the 327th Military Police Battalion on 12 February 1997. The Distinctive Unit Insignia was approved on 7 April 1953.
