Description: Shoulder Sleeve Insignia of the 29th Infantry Brigade Combat Team (United States). Description On a scarlet rectangle arced at top and bottom with a yellow 1/8 inch (.32 cm) border, 3 inches (7.62 cm) in height and 2 inches (5.08 cm) in width overall, between an eight pointed silver gray polestar highlighted white in dexter chief and a cluster of five silver gray stars with four points in the configuration of the Southern Cross Constellation in sinister base, a yellow lightning bolt throughout bend-sinister. Symbolism The color scarlet and the yellow lightning bolt recall the unit’s history with the 25th Infantry Division. The lightning bolt also symbolizes speed and quick response to provide combat service support. Scarlet, a color used by support units, is the color of zeal and sacrifice and yellow (gold) is emblematic of high achievement. The compass rose indicates guidance, leadership and the ability to deploy worldwide. The compass rose and the Southern Cross Constellation together highlight the organization’s mission to provide logistics throughout the world. Background The shoulder sleeve insignia was approved on 12 January 2006.
