The 134th Military Police Battalion Distinctive Unit Insignia—often called a unit crest or referred to by the initialism DUI—was approved on 7 July 1993. Alternating oriental blue and silver gray, branch colors of the Military Intelligence Corps, are used for the border of the shield portion of the insignia; inside the shield, a red lightning flash is superimposed over a black griffin placed on a gold background.
Blue is the color of loyalty and faithfulness; red signifies action, valor, and courage; gold is the color that denotes high ideals, a standard of excellence, and superior achievement. Part eagle and part lion, the griffin stands for awareness and vigilance coupled with strength and courage. The lightning flash is an allusion to the speed and accuracy the unit achieve in carrying out its mission, which is stated succinctly in the motto “Gather Interpret Inform.”
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. DUIs are not worn on the Dress variations of either uniform, however.
