Military Police Brigade

Rhode Island

Worn from:

The fortification above the wavy bars alludes to the wall
surrounding the fifteenth city of Rhodes, capital of the
island of Rhodes, after which Rhode Island was named.
The wavy bars also represent Narragansett Bay and the many
waterways of the state. The pike, an early weapon used by guards,
symbolizes the Forty-third Military Police Brigade's ability to
give protection and strong support.
