Soldiers who have been attached to United States Forces-Iraq wear the history, security and prosperity of a nation on their uniform.
According to the Institute of Heraldry, the shoulder sleeve insignia of USF-I has been worn to represent service of combat and contingency operations in Iraq since 2005. The shield patch is a symbol of the many ideals that has ushered in a new dawn for Iraq.
The patch contains four distinctive symbols:
The Star
"The star represents a vision of unity for the seven peoples of Iraq (Sunni,Shia, Kurd, Turkoman, Assyrian, Yazidi, Armenian) leading to a more secure,prosperous and free future for Iraqis."
The Crossed Scimitars
"The crossed scimitars of the insignia recall the partnership between Multinational Forces and Iraqi Security Forces essential to bringing a democratic way of life to Iraq.
The Palm Fronds
"The palm fronds symbolize peace and prosperity for a new nation."
The Mesopotamian Human-Headed Bull
"The colossal statue of the Mesopotamian human-headed winged bull recalls the rich heritage of Iraq and underscores strength and protection for the people of Iraq."
On a black shield, the star shines above the crossed scimitars. The palm fronds wrap the canvas as a base and the Mesopotamian human-headed bull is the center-piece.
Soldiers who have served in direct support of USF-Iraq are authorized the tactically colored shoulder insignia on the Army Combat Uniform and the full color insignia when wearing the Army Service Uniform.
