Symbolism
The Test Resource Management Center (TRMC) plans and assesses the adequacy of the major range and test facilities within DOD. The DOD eagle, pentagon and medium blue color highlight the Center as a DOD organization. The TRMC reviews and provides oversight of proposed Department of Defense budgets and expenditures by: (1) reviewing and providing oversight of test and evaluation facilities and resources; (2) completing and maintaining the strategic plan required; and, (3) reviewing proposed budgets. These three areas of responsibility are represented by the three arrows. The arrows, adapted from the DOD seal, stand for the three branches of our Armed Forces on the DOD seal. The color gold and the laurel are refer to excellence and high achievement. Dark blue reflects the blue of our National colors. The chevron symbolizes support, and its grid emphasizes testing and evaluation. The green chevronel on the chevron with the grid lines alludes to a graph and the measurement of resources. The torch stands for the guidance and leadership that TRMC provides; the scroll signifies administration and follow-through.
