372D ENGINEER BRIGADE
Distinctive Unit Insignia


Description/Blazon
A gold color metal and enamel device 1 3/16 inches (3.02 cm) in height overall consisting of a white wall masoned of three horizontal rows and surmounted vertically by a gold "T" square, head of black and aligned with lower edge of wall and guide surmounted by a green 45 degree triangle, base aligned with upper edge of wall, all with a vertically oval scarlet scroll passing behind the wall at the sides and over the "T" square guide at the top and below head in base, inscribed "ENGINEERING" on the upper portion and "LEADERSHIP" on the lower, all in gold.

Symbolism
Scarlet and white are the colors used for the Corps of Engineers, and masonry is emblematic of construction. Green, white, and scarlet, the national colors of Italy, together with three rows of masonry refer to the unit's service in Italy, World War II and their participation in the Naples-Foggia, Rome-Arno, and North Apennines Campaigns. The triangle was adopted from the organization's sketch and with the "T" square alludes to the overall mission and capabilities of the unit.

Background
The distinctive unit insignia was originally approved for the 372d Engineer Group on 2 February 1972. It was redesignated effective 16 September 2008, for the 372d Engineer Brigade with the description updated.
