Maroon and white are the colors used for the Army Medical Department. The cross is emblematic of aid and assistance. Gold and silver (white) are the metals closely associated with dentistry. The gunstones and the arrow refer to artillery and missiles and, with the entwined serpents, symbolize service to Fort Sill personnel. The white areas allude to the four facets of complete dental care. Together the above refer to the overall mission and capabilities of DENTAC, Ft. Sill. | |||
The Distinctive Unit Insignia was approved on 23 June 1980. | |||
