Distinctive Unit Insignia: A gold color metal and enamel device 1 3/16 inches (3.02 cm) in height overall consisting of a 1777-1780 Continental Dragoon’s gold helmet (blue band, white crest and black visor) bearing a silver gray heraldic rose all in front of and extending below in base, a red disc within a black annulet inscribed at the top “THE SILENT WARRIOR” in gold letters.
Origin/meaning
DUI: Oriental blue and silver gray are the colors used for Military Intelligence. The rose, suggested by the branch insignia, is emblematic of secrecy. The color red alludes to courage and the color black to the unknown. The helmet refers to Major Benjamin Tallmadge’s Troop of Continental Dragoons and their role as “eyes” of the military in probing the unknown, seeking to determine conditions and tactical movements and, in general, “harassment” of the enemy. All of these functions allude to the modern military intelligence mission. The Insignia was approved on 25 February 1976.
