Approved for wear on 23 June 1943, the United States Seventh Army Shoulder Sleeve Insignia, or unit patch, employs a pyramidal design to form the letter “A” for “Army,” with seven steps on each of the sides reflecting the organization’s numerical designation. Besides inspiring the Seventh Army’s official motto “Pyramid of Power,” the design also led to the Army’s informal epigram, “Seven Steps to Hell!” Red, blue, and yellow reflect the combined basic arms—Artillery/Air Defense Artillery, Infantry, and Armored/Cavalry—that made up the Army.
The insignia was amended to reflect an alteration in its dimensions on 17 March 2008, but a bigger change came in 16 July 2009 when it was redesignated for United States Army Europe and given new explanations for the symbolism, only to have the redesignation cancelled and it was reverted (and post-dated) 7 July 2009 back to Seventh Army. It was again redesignated for United States Army Europe effective on 17 April 2010, but this decision was again cancelled and, on 21 January 2011, it was designated solely for Seventh Army for historical purposes.
