The U.S. ARNG Training Center Garrison Command is located at Camp Smith, a military installation of the New York Army National Guard in Cortlandt Manor near Peekskill, New York. "Warriors Serving Warriors" is the Command's motto.
Also referred to as a unit crest or DUI, the U.S. Army National Guard (ARNG) Training Center Garrison Command Distinctive Unit Insignia was approved on 1 November 2011. It employs some of the design techniques used for the Command’s Shoulder Sleeve Insignia, most notably an interior field divided into three areas colored red, blue, and yellow and an image of the familiar Minute Man statue.
The division of the insignia’s interior into three colored sections has a dual meaning. Adapted from the insignia of the Army’s Training and Doctrine Command, the colors red, blue, and yellow refer to the three basic combat arms branches of Artillery, Infantry, and Armor/Cavalry, respectively, while the three areas represent the three components of the “One Army” concept: Active Army, Army Reserve, and Army National Guard.
Unveiled on 19 April 1875, centennial of the Battles of Lexington and Concord, the Minute Man statue by sculptor Daniel Chester Finch has become an iconic portrayal of the type of citizen-soldier that was seminal in the founding of today’s Army National Guard, holding a musket in one hand while the other rests on the plow from which he gleaned his livelihood.

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,
