Purple and white are the branch colors of Civil Affairs.
The sword symbolizes military authority under which the school
functions. The sword is combined with a scroll of parchment to
indicate that the activities of the school include the development
of doctrine, the provisions of instructive literature, and the academic
environment. The flaming partition line suggests the seal associated
with the school and its constant search for improved techniques and procedures.
The school, located at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, was originally
established as the Civil Affairs and Military Government
School on 17 October 1955 and was located at Fort Gordon, Georgia.
