U.S. ARMY 332ND MEDICAL BRIGADE UNIT CREST (DUI)

Approved on 22 October 1985, the 332nd Medical Brigade Distinctive Unit Insignia (DUI), or unit crest, is designed with a silver fleur-de-lis as the foundation. Featuring a blue center petal with a silver centerline, the fleur-de-lis is positioned between two stylized renditions of evergreens; on top of the evergreens is a maroon-colored cross pateé with arms embattled and charged in its center with a small silver cross.

World War II campaign service is denoted by the fleur-de-lis with specific campaigns connoted by certain images or colors: blue and silver stand for the Northern France and Normandy campaigns, while two evergreens beside the fleur-de-lis stand for the Ardennes-Alsace campaign. The embattled turrets suggest the castles found in the Rhineland, and the silver cross at the center indicates the final campaign, Central Europe. The embattled maroon cross signifies the Meritorious Unit Commendation the unit was awarded in the European theater.

Distinctive Unit Insignias are 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.

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.
