Distinctive Unit Insignia.

Maroon and white are the colors used for the U.S. Army Dental Corps. Gold and silver are the two precious metals closely associated with dentistry and the red cross is emblematic of aid and assistance. The three swords enclosed by the embattled tower, are symbolic of military protection, strength and preparedness. The crenellations of the tower refer to the various fields comprising the dental profession and the checkered bar refers to the processes and technology involved; it further alludes to the coats of arms of the Stewart Clan of Scotland, ancestors of General Daniel Stewart, Revolutionary War hero and namesake of Fort Stewart. | |||
The Distinctive Unit Insignia was approved on 14 November 1980 | |||
