U.S. ARMY 130TH ENGINEER BRIGADE UNIT PATCH (SSI)

The color version unit patch of the 130th Engineer Brigade is identical to the unit’s Combat Service Identification Badge (CSIB), the result of the the introduction of the blue Army Service Uniform (ASU) and the replace of the sleeve patch with a colored badge to denote a unit in which the wearer had served that had seen conditions indicating combat participation. The patch was initially approved for the unit in September 1969, shortly after the unit was redesignated to its current name and activated in Germany; the insignia was amended shortly afterwards (October 1969) to correct the description of the design.. The Brigade also received its official Distinctive Unit Insignia, or unit crest, on 1 November 1969.

The most predominant colors on the patch are scarlet and white, the colors used to identify Engineer units in the United States’ military. The vertical bar in the center is a symbol of a lever, a support, or a measuring device the engineers of the Brigade use. The embattlements represent the military aspect of the brigade. The number of the battlements also stands for something, as three is the symbol for completion in numerology. The battlements are a detail that can also be seen on the 130th’s unit crest.  The shield design of the patch alludes to the mission of the 130th, to protect and aid its fellow soldiers. It also stands for the readiness of the brigade, which can also be seen in its motto, “Combat Ready.”
