Origin/meaning
Shoulder Sleeve Insignia: Red, white and blue are our National colors and gold is symbolic of excellence. The minuteman, a symbol of combat readiness, recalls the heritage of the U.S. Army Reserve. The castle wall, alluding to Europe and representing defense, symbolizes the Command's mission to defend the European front. The seven embattlements on the wall and tower are indicative of the unit's numerical designation.
Distinctive Unit Insignia: Blue, yellow and red encompass the major combat arms colors. White is symbolic of integrity and high ideals. The castle, a symbol of defense and fortification, alludes to Europe. The star, denoting authority, and the shield implying defense, also emphasize our military commitment in Europe. The musket, saber and powder horn recall the U.S. Army Reserve's heritage and combat readiness
