Missouri State Headquarters Army National Guard Unit Crest (Right Side DUI)
This is the official Missouri State Headquarters Army National Guard Unit Crest, also known as a Distinctive Unit Insignia (DUI). This version represents the right side crest, worn as part of the authorized paired insignia set for Army personnel assigned to Missouri National Guard headquarters units.
The design features the iconic Missouri grizzly bear, symbolizing strength, courage, and the historic identity of the Missouri National Guard. The banner displays the official motto "Protectors of Peace", reflecting the unit’s mission to defend both state and nation while supporting civil authorities when called upon.
The red, blue, and gold color elements represent Missouri’s heritage and its connection to the Louisiana Purchase, while the bear stands as a long-recognized symbol of the state’s military readiness and resilience.
