United States Army Aviation Branch - Heraldry

Heraldry

• Branch Insignia:

  A silver propeller in a vertical position between two gold wings in a horizontal position, 1 1/8 inches in width. The wings are modified and differ from designs currently used on Army and Air Force aviator badges. The insignia draws upon the original insignia for historical and symbolic purposes, but was deliberately modified to signify a new chapter in Army aviation history.

• Branch Plaque:

  The plaque design has the branch insignia in proper colors (gold wings with silver propeller). The letters are golden orange and the rim is gold. The background is ultramarine blue.

• Regimental Insignia:

  Personnel assigned to the Aviation branch affiliate with a specific regiment and wear the insignia of the affiliated regiment.

• Regimental Coat of Arms:

  There is no standard aviation regimental flag to represent all of the aviation regiments. Each regiment of aviation has its own coat of arms which appears on the breast of a displayed eagle. The background of all the aviation regimental flags is ultramarine blue.

• Branch Colors:

  Ultramarine blue piped with Golden Orange.

  • Ultramarine Blue – 65010 cloth; 67118 yarn; Reflex blue PMS.
