Distinctive Unit Insignia


Description/Blazon
A silver color metal and enamel device 1 1/8 inches (2.86 cm) in height overall consisting of a maroon Greek cross bearing at its center a silver metal lion's face and red fleur-de-lis, surmounting a disc with alternating red, white and blue vertical bands, all beneath and between a maroon scroll, divided in three folds at the top and inscribed "DEDICATED TO HEALTH" in silver letters.

Symbolism
Maroon and white are the colors used for the Army Medical Department.  The cross, a symbol for aid and assistance, alludes to the basic mission of the organization.  The lion's face refers to England and the fleur-de-lis to France, areas in which the organizations served with distinction during World War II.  Red, white and blue are the National colors and refer to the states in which subordinate elements of the organization are located.

Background
The distinctive unit insignia was originally approved for the 807th Medical Brigade on 25 March 1977.  It was redesignated for the 807th Medical Command effective 17 September 2002.
