Shoulder Sleeve Insignia: A purple hexagon, 3 1/2 inches (8.89 cm) in height overall, edged with a 1/8 inch (.32 cm) gold border, with scarlet flames issuing from base throughout, surmounted by a black arrowhead charged with the numeral "3" in gold.
Origin/meaning
The hexagon, suggesting crystalline formation, represents chemistry. The flames and the colors scarlet and purple allude to the mission of the chemical brigade. The arrowhead denotes willingness to attack and defend; its triangular form symbolizes the unit's designation.
The shoulder sleeve insignia was approved on 19 November 2002. It was amended to change the background color on 29 November 2002.
