The inverted chevron rompu illustrates the merging of TRADOC and AFC through funneling knowledge and expertise across a transformational process to modernize the fighting force. Rompu, the heraldic term for broken, applied to the chevron characterizes “breaking the mold” and a shift in thinking. This creates a shape that resembles a stylized “V” in allusion to the motto “From Vision to Victory.” Black, white, and gold, the contemporary colors of the Army, portray a modern approach to thinking and operating.
