U.S. ARMY 369TH ADJUTANT GENERAL BATTALION UNIT CREST (DUI)

The Distinctive Unit Insignia of the 369th Adjutant General Battalion was approved on 9 December 1987. Its dark blue shield and scarlet scroll incorporate the colors of the Adjutant General’s Corps, the branch the unit had been a part of since it was activated as a Replacement Battalion in November 1943 at Schofield Barracks in Hawaii.

A gridlined globe in the center of the shield emphasizes the worldwide services performed by personnel trained by the 369th Adjutant General Battalion, the Battalion’s primary function that is symbolized here by the flaming torch behind the globe. Mounted over the globe are a crossed quill pen and sword; the pen alludes to the Administrative mission and the sword denotes the United States Army and military preparedness. "Army Pride" is the Battalion motto.

Also known as a unit crest or DUI, the 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 (Enlisted only) with the base of the insignia toward the outside shoulder seam.

Full guidance on wear of the DUI is found in DA Pamphlet 670-1, Section 21-22, "Distinctive unit insignia."

Stationed at Fort Jackson, South Carolina as part of the Soldier Support Institute, the 369th Adjutant General Battalion is responsible for Advanced Individual Training (AIT) for new recruits selected to serve as Human Resources Specialists and Financial Management Technicians. Courses are designed to help recruits quickly achieve tactical and technical competence in fields involving administration, personnel, legal, and finance Military Occupational Specialties.

As mentioned earlier, the Battalion was originally created as the 74th Replacement Battalion in 1943. It would be deployed in the Asiatic-Pacific Theater during World War II, where it earned a Meritorious Unit Commendation for its service during the Ryukyu and Okinawa campaigns. Briefly inactivated following the War’s end, the Battalion was redesignated as the 369th Replacement Battalion in the Organized Reserves in June 1947, assigned to United States Third Army, and activated the next month.

Inactivated less than three years later in June 1950, the Battalion was dormant for going on four decades when it was reactivated in May 1987 under its current designation and at its present location of Fort Jackson, South Carolina.
