15th Military Police Brigade Unit Crest (Duty Justice and Loyalty)

The official military approved 15th Military Police Brigade Unit Crest - a 1 1/8-inch gold and enamel insignia embodying the units motto 'Duty, Justice, and Loyalty.' This emblem symbolizes the Brigade's core values and pivotal role in military operations. Approved in 1968 and refined in 2010, it stands as a powerful testament to the unit's heritage and significance within the military community.

Design Description:

An emblem crafted from gold-tone metal and enamel, measuring 1 1/8 inches (2.86 cm) in total height. It features a gold pike resting above and spanning the upper segment of an unbroken green scroll. Adorning the scroll, the phrase "DUTY JUSTICE AND LOYALTY" is inscribed in gold lettering at the base.

Symbolic Meaning:

Yellow and green, the chosen hues, signify the association with Military Police. The pike, historically wielded by Provosts, symbolizes the fundamental purpose of the Brigade. The three tips of the pike symbolically represent the organization's tripartite role encompassing command, staff planning, and oversight of military police operations in both peace and wartime scenarios.

Historical Context:

Initially sanctioned on January 26, 1968, as the distinctive unit insignia for the 15th Military Police Brigade, it underwent redesignation, becoming effective on October 2, 2010, for the 15th United States Army Military Police Brigade. Amendments were made to refine its description and representational accuracy.
