U.S. ARMY 2ND ARMORED DIVISION UNIT CREST (DUI)

The Distinctive Unit Insignia, of the 2nd Armored Division is identical to its Combat Service Identification Badge (CSIB). It is composed of an equilateral triangle divided into three sections, perched atop a rectangular base bearing the unit's famous nickname, "Hell On Wheels." At the apex of the triangle is an Arabic number "2," and in the middle of the triangle is a gun in front of a tank track and wheels, over which is superimposed a red lightning flash symbolizing mobility, speed, and power.

Also known as a unit crest or DUI, 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. DUIs are not 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.
