U.S. ARMY SOLDIER SUPPORT INSTITUTE PATCH (SSI)

The U.S. Army Soldier Support Institute Shoulder Sleeve Insignia, often referred to as a unit patch, was first approved on 10 January 1973 for the U.S. Army Administrative Schools Center. It was subsequently redesignated for the U.S. Army Administration Center on 10 December 1974. When the Center was renamed the U.S. Army Soldier Support Center, the insignias was redesignated on 4 November 1980 to reflect the change. It was redesignated on 1 October 1994 for the U.S Army Soldier Support Institute.
 
A flaming torch is the focal point of the U.S. Army Soldier Support Institute patch, symbolizing leadership as well as knowledge and scholarship. The dark blue figure at the bottom is called a heneage knot, used often in heraldry and here designating multiple training missions. The silver gray of the torch and the golden yellow of the flame are the primary and secondary branch colors of the Finance Corps, while the dark blue of the knot and the scarlet of the shield’s border are the branch colors of the Adjutant General’s Corps.
 
Light blue is the color used organizations associated with Defense and suggests that nature of the organization’s training mission for all military services. The Institute’s motto, “PRAECIPERE MILITI,” is Latin for “Teach The Soldier” and is found on its Distinctive Unit Insignia (DUI), also known as a unit Crest.
