U.S. ARMY 35TH ENGINEER BRIGADE UNIT CREST (DUI)

The 35th Engineer Brigade Distinctive Unit Insignia (DUI), frequently referred to as a unit crest, was approved for wear on 7 October 1970. Two crossed bayonets are a reference the unit’s combat capabilities; seeming to hang from their intersection point is a pick and a plumb bob, basic tools that evoke the engineering and construction missions of the brigade.
 
Between the two bayonets are two wavy, horizontal bars, a reference to the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers and the Brigade’s two home stations at the time (Jefferson City and St. Louis). Combined with the bayonets, the wavy lines form the capital letter “A,” which stands for the Aleutian Islands where the unit fought during World War II. The whitish areas above and below the wavy lines is a visual reference to the cold, foggy climate of the Aleutians. The unit motto, “No Task Too Large,” cements the insignia with a commitment to mission success.

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. 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.
