U.S. ARMY 220TH MILITARY POLICE BRIGADE UNIT CREST (DUI)

“Support By Doing,” unit motto of the 220th Military Police Brigade of the U.S. Army Reserve, appears on the Brigade’s Distinctive Unit Insignia, which is sometimes called “unit crest” or just DUI for short. Approved 27 September 1972, the insignia features a disc divided into and upper and lower portions, with black used for the lower half because of it symbolizes constancy and fidelity which are the foundation of the successful organization.

A halberd, a two-handed striking weapon, is an emblem of vigilance, while the star superimposed upon it is a sign of leadership authority: when combined it represents the unit’s overarching mission. The halberd’s twin blades denote both defensive and offensive capabilities, and the overall disc of the insignia is a sign of mobility.

The 220th Military Police Brigade was inactivated in 2006.

A Distinctive Unit Insignia is worn by all Soldiers (except General Officers) in units that have been authorized to be issued the device. It is worn centered on the shoulder loops of the Army Green Service Uniform (AGSU) and the blue Army Service Uniform (ASU, Enlisted only) with the base of the insignia toward the outside shoulder seam. Current regulations do not permit the DUI to be worn on the Dress variations of either uniform, however.

Enlisted personnel wear the insignia centered on a shoulder loop by placing it an equal distance from the outside shoulder seam to the outside edge of the shoulder-loop button. Officers (except Generals) wearing grade insignia on the shoulder loops center the DUI by placing it an equal distance between the inside edge of the grade insignia and the outside edge of the button.

More guidance on wear of the DUI is found in DA Pamphlet 670-1, Section 21-22, "Distinctive unit insignia" and 21–3(d) and (e), "Beret" and "Garrison Cap," respectively.
