Shield. Yellow and black are the colors associated with the United States Army. Red, white, and blue are our National colors. The heraldic chevron is a time-honored symbolic representation of the military and their vital contributions to National defense. Illustrated at both the top and the bottom of the shield, the yellow and black portions envelop red, white, and blue chevrons, illustrating how the Department of the Army upholds American values at its core, while protecting and upholding them through its relationships with both Congressional bodies. Reflective of the growing responsibilities of the office over time, the shifted position of the chevrons denote the ability of the Office of the Chief Legislative Liaison (OCLL) to adapt quickly to dynamic duties and demands. The compass rose positioned within the outline of a pentagon characterizes the crucial role the office provides to coordinate Congressional inquiries in matters of National security.
Crest. The wreath adopts the first-named metal and color from the shield and blazon. The United States Capitol Building is representative of Congress. Both the House of Representatives and Senate chambers are shown in this depiction, denoting how the OCLL works closely with each of these bodies. Placed in the crest, the Capitol sits directly above the shield, conveying the oversight function of Congress and its committees.
Supporters. Present on the Presidential Seal, Congressional Seal, as well as on the seals of several other prominent federal and military organizations, the wreath of laurel is used to denote achievement, honor, and high distinction.
