420th Engineer Brigade

Worn from:
22 December 1967 - Current.

The division of the shield by the white center
lines and gold circle indicates that the brigade
was composed from a number of units of different
sizes and configuration. The larger gold circle
is symbolic of the planning, coordination, and
supervision functions of the brigade. The gold
circle in the center of the shield represents
the command function of the brigade from which
all brigade functions radiate. The combination
of the circles and the crossed center lines
represent the dual engineering and military
mission of the unit. It resembles an optical
measuring device or weapon sight
